  Published by the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA)
• TRaCE 
  A "national project that works to find out more about PhDs in the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts, and to create a community of peers for mentorship and networking. There is a dearth of information on the career paths of PhDs, especially those who work outside the academy. We want to demonstrate the value of PhDs in what we call the human sciences in relation to the larger labour force in Canada, to change how Canadians think about the PhD, and to connect PhDs with one another and to begin a long-neglected project of community building and peer-mentorship."
