A group of Canadian scholars wants to hire two racial and sexual minorities for a research project, though preferably applicants will be “First Nations, Metis, or Inuit.”

The research grant is “for those who live their resistance in the outdoors by taking up space.”

The research team wants a doctoral student who “[i]dentifies as BIPOC, non-gender conforming, LGTBQ+, fat, and/or disabled” but the “[p]reference is for First Nations, Metis, or Inuit applicants.” …

Researchers should be ready to help “amplify the work of traditionally marginalized groups who (re)claim space in outdoor culture” and “challenge dominant narratives that reproduce the white heteropatriarchy and tend to recolonize outdoor culture.”

[Woe, Canada! Always good to see educational dollars going to useful research. I wonder whether these researchers take a similarly positive view of “manspreading.” I’d guess *no*, but the explanation for the different take would likely be either hilarious or soporifically tendentious. — Ed]
