Black and African Canadian Scientific and Technological Innovations Fellowship
Ingenium has partnered with the Black Canadian Studies Association to launch the Black and African Canadian Scientific and Technological Innovations Fellowship.
Ingenium oversees three national museums which include the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, and the Canada Science and Technology Museum. Ingenium is responsible for Canada’s national scientific and technological collection which includes over two million archival items and more than 150,000 objects.
Fellows will design a research project related to the study of the historical and/or contemporary connections between Black and African Canadians and science and innovation. Research projects can engage with the socio-economic and cultural impacts of science and technology for Black and African Canadian individuals and communities as well as the contributions of Black and African Canadians to science and innovation.
Applicants are encouraged to think broadly and creatively about the fields of science and technology as they shape their research projects. The Fellowship provides an excellent opportunity to gain valuable heritage and curatorial work experience, and have unique access to collections that contribute to a student’s research interests.
