Welcome
Welcome to the SoCIETIE Initiative @ McCusker Institute.
We are welcoming our first cohort in 2025, and will populate/improve/revise the information on this page throughout the semester.
Get started with SoCIETIE
The SoCIETIE Initiative is unlike any other course at the University. You are empowered to shape your own learning journey by choosing a pathway of modules, which we call KNOTs, aligned with specific areas of social value.
Explore this page to find out more about the structure of the course, and put in an Expression of Interest.
A Class of KNOTs (to Know the Nature of Things…)
KNOTs cover the skills and the big ideas needed to create change in our community, and the opportunity to develop these skills in supported engagements with community sector partners. KNOTs are informed by expert academics and practitioners on topics such as transdisciplinary problem-solving, creating social impact and change, engaging with diverse stakeholders, harnessing disciplinary knowledge, critical thinking, and incorporating Indigenous knowledge and perspectives.
