Celebrating Research Impact: Transnational Inquiry, Public Engagement, and Social Transformation

In November, Professor Kamari Maxine Clarke received the 2025 Insight Award from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).

One of several Impact Awards presented annually by SSHRC, the prize recognizes scholars whose initiative or initiatives have made outstanding contributions to knowledge and understanding about people, societies, and the world.

To celebrate this remarkable achievement, join the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies for a conversation between Kamari Maxine Clarke and Kevin Lewis O’Neill.

Their discussion will explore Professor Clarke’s pioneering scholarship, including her Early Warning Early Response (EWER) Project, her Reparative Justice Project, and related work on decolonial methodologies as a form of thinking otherwise. Together, these interventions open critical conversations about justice, repair, and new ways of imagining ethical response in a world structured by enduring forms of violence and inequality.
