FSS Research

On the strength of Canada's two major intellectual traditions, anglophone and francophone, the Faculty of Social Sciences stands as a centre of excellence in knowledge creation, research and training. Driven by both disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, research at the Faculty is at once rich, innovative and varied, contributing to the depth and breadth of discussions on current issues here and elsewhere. And whether fundamental, theoretical, applied or action-oriented (action research), this research stems from proven expertise—most notably in Canada's Francophonie—and greatly influences individual communities and society in general.

In step with contemporary society on both the national and international fronts, the Faculty of Social Sciences fosters social innovation, creates and shares knowledge, promotes public policy development and builds research partnerships with the public and private sectors, as well as community organizations.

Rencontre avec l’expert : David Jaclin

Venez entendre David Jaclin, professeur en études sociologiques et anthropologiques à l’Université d’Ottawa, qui explore le concept d’anthropos (« humain » en grec). Si anthropos est bel et bien à l’origine d’une nouvelle époque géologique alors, se demandera-t-on, de quel humain exactement s’agit-il ici, à quelle conception de l’humanité renvoie ce nom de baptême et comment identifier, du même fait, responsabilités et pouvoirs, problèmes et solutions?   En français avec période de questions bilingue.

Repenser le savoir pour la recherche et l’éducation interdis

Repenser le savoir pour la recherche et l’éducation interdisciplinaires
(Présentation en anglais)

La plupart des disciplines expliquent le savoir en termes de réalités objectives, d’interprétations des personnes ou de correspondances entre elles. Par contre, les théories de la cohérence expliquent le savoir en termes de pertinence ou de viabilité contextuelle. Cette présentation soutient que les théories de la cohérence offrent un fondement épistémologique plus productif pour la recherche et
l’éducation interdisciplinaires.

Re-thinking knowledge for interdisciplinary research

Re-thinking knowledge for interdisciplinary research & education

Most disciplines explain knowledge in terms of objective realities, people’s interpretations, or correspondence between them. Coherence theories, by contrast, explain knowing in terms of contextual fitness or viability. This presentation argues that the latter offer a more productive epistemological basis for interdisciplinary research and education.

IRGTE International Conference-workshop

Over the course of two days, we will focus on two key objectives:
  1. an in-depth analysis of the socio-environmental conflicts and governance challenges that arise as a result of the extractive industries; and
  2. the production of a series of policy recommendations to address these conflicts and challenges. We are bringing together world-renowned academic experts like you to explore Indigenous and human rights as they relate to extractive projects. The conference/workshop will consist of three panels, three round table sessions, and a final two-part policy meeting.
