FASS Research Centres

FASS Research Centres (FRCs) conduct collaborative disciplinary and/or multidisciplinary research. FRCs also serve as vehicles for the professional training of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as post-doctoral fellows. FASS Research Centres report and are accountable to the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences supports the formation of FASS Research Centres to conduct collaborative research programs, to enhance the research strengths of the Faculty and the University and to profile and communicate these research programs to communities outside the University. Such Centres are not tied necessarily to the University’s strategic research themes but instead reflect the diversity of research interests and scholarship within the Faculty.

For more information regarding the establishment and administration of FASS Research Centres refer to the Policy and Procedures for FASS Research Centres.
