The Centre for Research in Social Justice and Policy (CRSJP) supports research about issues pertaining to social justice and social policy and about the relationship between social policy and social justice. The aim of such research is to inform social policy, to enhance social inclusion and to promote social justice. The CRSJP brings together researchers, professors, students, policy makers and practitioners to participate in a critically meaningful and ongoing dialogue on social issues of fundamental importance to the community and to societal development in north eastern Ontario and more broadly across Canada or globally. It seeks to produce original research and innovative policy ideas to help build a just, democratic and sustainable world. The CRSJP undertakes research, theoretical or practical in nature, qualitative or quantitative in approach, discipline-based, interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary, pertaining to social well-being.
