An ambitious new census of social innovation research at the University of Toronto highlights several different areas in which the Faculty of Law is active.
Produced by the office of the vice-president (research) in consultation with the social innovation research community, the catalogue organizes social innovation research on campus into three themes: liveable societies; institutes, governance and prosperity; and human development. It’s intended to be a resource for members of the academic community that will allow researchers to make connections and will be of interest to potential graduate students considering coming to study at the university.
Here are some of the Faculty of Law faculty members and projects featured in the report, listed according to the section in which they are featured (some are repeated if relevant to multiple sections).
