Themes and Strategy
Research in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences falls under four main areas of study, as outlined and described by the faculty's research themes:
Dynamic Research
In its 2022-27 Strategic Plan, the Faculty seeks to
"Support and pursue Dynamic Research: Hone our research infrastructure to improve our capacity to support diverse world-class research and creative endeavors; streamline application processes; provide guidance in planning research; identify funding opportunities; manage existing awards; collaborate with diverse communities across the province, nationally, and internationally; and recognize the diversity of research, creative activity, and knowledge-production."
As a core activity within the faculty, research links directly with the other objectives in the strategic plan:
- Indigenization, decolonization, and EDI-AR
- Proactive Programs
- Inspired Learning
- Commitment to Communities
- Promotion and Pride
