We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta. The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. The Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary invites applications for a Canada Research Chair (CRC) Tier I in Pluralistic Societies: Transdisciplinarity, Cognitive Justice and Education. The successful candidate will be appointed at the rank of Professor (with tenure) and will be nominated for a CRC Tier I. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2024, or a mutual agreed upon date.

Globally, and locally, we are witnessing societies shaped by increasing human entanglements and social polarization. Pluralism in the city, what might be called pluralism from below, recognizes the need for an active engagement that creates a society of shared values, and peace and prosperity from a diversity of civilizations, cultures, peoples, groups, and entities. It addresses the wicked social challenges associated with super-diversity and hyper-diversity of our time: social disconnection, division, distrust, dehumanization, religious intolerance and political strife. Pluralism is inextricably concerned with depolarisation. It is fundamentally concerned with how to make diversity work so that we can live well together. It requires actively cultivating an understanding of different perspectives and facilitating how this multiplicity shapes social transformation for the better. Pluralism is what can emerge from relationship building and intercultural engagement, bridging divides, social healing, collaborative problem solving, and interfaith engagement. This context calls for a paradigm shift, for bold solutions, culture change, shifting values, norms, skills, behaviours, how we see ourselves and others, and how we see ourselves in relation to diverse others. The University of Calgary has been laying the groundwork toward a Pluralism Strategy for many years and is currently seeking to recruit a global leader in Transdisciplinarity, Cognitive Justice and Education. The Chair will:

• Advance the intersection of transdisciplinarity, cognitive justice and education. They will develop a policy-relevant research agenda to foster transformation in the higher education sector, with the aim of creating a more inclusive education and societies that can confront the challenges of polarization facing human societies.
• Advance transdisciplinarity, cognitive justice and education as an integral methodology for a reformulated epistemology that is necessary to support emerging local, national and global policy frameworks, and advance and protect plural knowledges and intellectual property rights.
• Develop and advance terms and conditions for plural knowledges, and the integration of different forms of knowledge in higher education.
• Foster transdisciplinary scholarship for systems transformation including in education, law, economics and science.

Additionally, the Chair will play an important role in teaching and research supervision of students in the Werklund School of Education undergraduate and graduate programs. Service to the department, faculty, University, and community is also expected.

The Chair will have the opportunity to be part of a prolific and diverse research environment in the Werklund School of Education, with access to state-of-the-art core infrastructure.

The successful candidate is a full professor and an outstanding and innovative world-class research which has made a major impact in their field. International recognition as a leader in their field, with evidence of leading a well-established research program as demonstrated by sustained peer-reviewed funding with evidence of collaboration, international presentations, peer-reviewed research publications that have established and influenced an area of research in their field and a superior track record in attracting and supervising graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. Strong service and/or leadership record and evidence of an excellent teaching record. Qualifications required include a Ph.D. in Social Science or equivalent. The applicant must also meet the criteria for a Canada Research Chair at the Tier I level. Further information about the Canada Research Chairs Program, including eligibility criteria, can be found on the Government of Canada’s CRC website.

Interested individuals are encouraged to submit an application online via the 'Apply Now' link. A complete application includes:

There is a resurgent and insurgent epistemological decolonization targeting intersectional inequalities concerning race, class, gender and other vectors of social exclusion; advocating the reclaiming of worldviews and epistemologies that have been pushed to the margins of modern societies; cultivation of new consciousness predicated on decoloniality and humanity in all of its diversity. The Chair will be a recognized leader with an active research program that:

• Addresses questions of epistemological decolonization, epistemic pluralism and a future underpinned by ecologies of knowledges. These issues have implications for structural, institutional, relational and personal aspects of societal change necessary for the 21st century.
• Examines the structural, epistemological, relational, and personal dimensions of the social that are shaping the ways in which scholars engage with diverse communities and their knowledges, and worldviews and cosmologies.
• Enables community participation in research and epistemic initiatives and the co-production of relevant knowledge.

Additionally, the Chair will play an important role in teaching and research supervision of students in the Department of History undergraduate and graduate programs. Service to the department, faculty, University, and community is also expected.

The Green Construction through Wood (GCWood) program encourages the use of innovative wood-based building technologies in construction projects. This program supports Canada’s commitment to reach 2030 and 2050 emissions reduction targets under the Paris Agreement and advance long-term priorities regarding greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction.

GCWood invests in wood construction projects that generate many benefits, including:

• reduced GHG emissions from renewable and sustainable resources that help decarbonize the built environment
• accelerated adoption of innovative building technologies and systems
• updated building codes that allow for taller and larger wood buildings
• affordable housing and community infrastructure

Demonstration projects

Since 2017, the program has successfully funded 16 demonstration projects to de-risk and support the greater adoption and commercialization of wood-based products in the construction of tall and low-rise wood buildings and timber bridges. As of March 2023, the program has funded 4 tall wood building projects, 10 low-rise non-residential building projects, and 2 timber bridge projects.

The program produced the 2021 State of Mass Timber in Canada report and an interactive map to record, review, and analyze the rise of mass timber construction in Canada. Applicants are encouraged to review the report and interactive map to see the progress Canada has made in mass timber production, design and building, and the potential for ongoing leadership in this area.

As part of its renewal, the program has expanded its focus to fund the demonstration of schematic designs, innovative building systems for wood construction, and the use of advanced building bio-products in new and existing buildings that have low GHG emissions, are regionally representative, and are highly replicable. The GCWood program provides non-repayable contributions of up to $1.4 million of a project’s eligible costs.

The program will seek to target innovative building solutions and schematic designs under key areas of interest including, but not limited to, prefabrication including modular buildings, retrofits, and design for disassembly/adaptability.

Eligibility

GCWood funding is open to the following applicants:

1. Legal entities validly incorporated or registered in Canada, including:
   • for-profit and not-for-profit organizations such as companies, industry associations, research associations, and standards associations
   • Indigenous organizations and groups
2. Provincial, territorial, regional, and municipal governments and their departments and agencies, where applicable
