Experience Makes a Difference

Academic studies. Career exploration. Community involvement.

We aim to enrich undergraduate education in the Faculty of Social Sciences through fostering unique approaches to learning within the classroom and more actively engaging students in the community, as well as promoting strong relationships between academic studies, career exploration and community involvement.

Welcome

Welcome to our research project on "Ethnic Quotas and Political Representation: A Global Study.” Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), this project builds new knowledge on variations of ethnic quotas designed to guarantee political representation of indigenous and ethnic minority groups in legislatures around the world.
