Institutes for Resilient and Inclusive Societies and Ecosystems (iRISE)
The challenges of the current climate crisis, the health of our planet, the well-being of individuals and societies, and the inclusiveness and sustainability of local and global economies are deeply intertwined. The solution to these challenges is rarely linear and requires us to bring different kinds of knowledges and communities into dialogue. The Fulbright Canada Research Chairholder will be engaged in research that seeks to address these challenges by synthesizing scholarly thought from different disciplines to create collaborative solutions to the vexing problems of our time, in Canada and around the world. iRISE: is a network of research institutes at the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) comprised of three founding institutes: the Institute for Environment, Conservation and Sustainability; the Institute for Inclusive Health and Well-Being; and the Institute for Inclusive Economies and Sustainable Livelihoods. It also includes the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Institutional Strategic Initiative, which supports transdisciplinary research engaged in understanding and implementing the SDGs established by the UN in 2015. Through its establishment of iRISE, UTSC affirms its commitment to convergence research that empowers communities and individuals, and informs future global goals for a just, equitable, inclusive, and sustainable future. Specializations: Research should relate to sustainability, broadly understood, and match research priorities of the institutes and Initiatives within iRISE, including environment and climate change, poverty reduction, health inequities, and sustainable development.
