Historians Speak Out about SSHRC

Abstract

This winter, the CHA prepared a questionnaire for historians to solicit their opinions on the policies and programmes of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Over 1000 questionnaires were sent to CHA members and nearly 4000 additional copies were sent to university departments of history for distribution among non-members. The responses reflected an interesting range of opinions about both the functioning of SSHRC and of government research policies in general.
