At Western’s Faculty of Social Science, we believe research, teaching, and community engagement can change the world. As one of the most diverse and dynamic faculties in Canada, we are proud to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all.

Our faculty is home to leaders in research and education who explore how societies work, how people connect, and how communities can thrive. From tackling inequality and improving health and well-being, to advancing climate action and building inclusive institutions, our scholars are creating knowledge that inspires meaningful change.

Whether it’s collaborating with community organizations in London, shaping national policies, or partnering with researchers across the globe, our work connects local action with global impact. By addressing the SDGs, the Faculty of Social Science is preparing students and researchers to become agents of change—people who will help build a more sustainable, inclusive, and just world.
