GRANTS AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT

I do not normally apply for grants or other financial support to fund research, but restrict my requests from the University and funding agencies to conference travel, subsistence and sabbaticals. This is a matter of personal preference on my part, and is based on early negative experiences with issues bearing on academic freedom and financial dependency while completing my Ph.D. It is for this reason that I continue to be very concerned about the increasing dependence of contemporary social and political scholarship on external private and public sector funding, This concern came about as a consequence of the serious difficulties I and others encountered with political and partisan conflicts over funding while studying controversial topics in the united States during the early and mid-1960s. This has led me to be suspicious of all prizes, honours and awards, whether from public or private auspices, viewing them as a potential, and often a real threat to academic integrity. This attitude has also carried over into grants and emoluments, motivating me to avoid any such dependency as much as possible whether on sabbatical, attending conferences or conducting research, in Canada after 1967 no less than in the United States earlier.
