Transdisciplinary Approaches to Tackling Societal Issues

Faculty of Social Work Research Symposium | March 12 & 13

“Transdisciplinary Approaches to Tackling Social Issues in Democracy, Justice, and Sustainability through Transformative Research and Partnerships”

This year the Faculty of Social Work’s annual research symposium focuses on how transdisciplinary research can bring new perspectives and approaches together to address social issues facing our communities.  These complex challenges are increasingly moving researchers to look for solutions outside their own disciplines, which can create transformative change in society. 

“In our upcoming symposium, we will celebrate and explore ways that transdisciplinary teams are working together to accomplish so much more than they would on their own,” says Dr. David Nicholas, the Associate Dean of Research and Partnerships with the Faculty of Social Work.
