From Academic CV to Narrative-style CV: Update and Practical Tips
May 27, 2025 — 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
Join us for the next event in our Research Conversations Series entitled ''From Academic CV to Narrative-style CV: Update and Practical Tips'' with Marie-Eve Girard and Roberto Ortiz-Nunez. Register for this event happening on May 27, 2025 at 12 PM.
Description
The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) recently announced the adoption of a new narrative-style CV in several research grant competitions. Although the implementation of this new CV format is in a period of gradual transition, more and more funding opportunities will use it in the coming years. Do you understand the reasons for this change? Do you want to better understand what this means for you? This session of the Research Conversations proposes to explain the context leading to this change, explore options for managing your CV, explain what a narrative CV is, and give examples and a few tips for preparing it. This session will be particularly important for new professors and for those who plan to apply for SSHRC research funding in the coming years.
