About Us
The Social Work Research Centre, housed within the Faculty of Social Work supports social justice and equity-focused research that addresses issues faced by vulnerable, marginalized, and oppressed groups. Our community-engaged research utilizes both Indigenous and Western research approaches with specific attention to social action that will inform changes in policy, practice, and education for a sustainable future.
Our research associates explore and address issues such as poverty and income equality; child and youth welfare; newcomers, refugees, and immigrants; mental health and addictions; mixed ability issues; and needs of older adults. A cross-cutting theme focuses on social work education, where we apply new knowledge and innovative methods to incorporate into the curriculum.
