Erin Tolley has been awarded a SSHRC Partnership Engage Grant for her project “Black Canadians’ Participation and Inclusion in Electoral Politics.”
Working in collaboration with Operation Black Vote Canada, this Partnership Engage project will create an archive highlighting the experiences and contributions of Black Canadians who have run for and served in elected office at all levels of government in Canada. These insights will be the basis for a set of training materials for prospective candidates and help us identify strategies to increase the representation of diversity in politics.
