Culture, Society, Community Development

How does social justice define what we do? What can we do to amplify marginalized voices? How can digital media be harnessed to create community? These are just some of the questions being tackled by Dalhousie researchers, as they use their research to inform our most pressing conversations about culture and community. The interdisciplinary nature of this area engages all Faculties across the university.
