Transforming Research for Social Impact Hub
The Transforming Research for Social Impact (TRSI) Hub builds methodological capacity and knowledge in interdisciplinary, community-engaged, and socially responsive research.
Hosted within the College of Social Sciences & Humanities (CSSH) at the 伊人直播, the TRSI Hub is the first pan-university initiative in Alberta focused on developing innovative methodologies that promote community-driven social change and address complex social issues. The Hub responds to a rapidly changing world of social research by offering comprehensive social research methods training and advancement targeted toward social impact.
Developed in partnership with the KIAS Research Cluster in Advancing Research Methods and Training for Social Change, the International Institute for Qualitative Methodology (iiQM), and the Community University Partnership (CUP), the Hub brings together researchers across and beyond the university to promote three interwoven cornerstone areas of activity -- education, engagement, and research.
By creating an ecosystem for innovative social research approaches and pedagogies embedded in the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion, the Hub establishes the 伊人直播 as a leader in transformative research for social impact.
