The Centre for Global Social Policy is located within the University of Toronto’s Department of Sociology. The Centre supports social policy-relevant research conducted in Sociology and related disciplines. These disciplines include public health, anthropology, political science, and economics. The researchers share a common interest in creating research knowledge to advance policy solutions aimed at improving the welfare of the population.
