Areas of Expertise
New and established faculty and staff at Saskatchewan's two largest universities have come together to create a unique partnership to better serve the province and the nation. By employing faculty with extensive experience in applied public policy and policy research, the school is able to provide expertise in the areas of health and social policy; science, technology, and innovation; and trade and transnational regulation.
Already among the faculty are three Canada Research Chairs whose responsibility is to strengthen the country's international research competitiveness while also focusing on graduate student training. These individuals include:
- Daniel Béland, Canada Research Chair in Public Policy (Tier 2)
- Greg Marchildon, Canada Research Chair in Public Policy and Economic History (Tier 1)
- Evelyn Peters, Canada Research Chair in Identity and Diversity: The Aboriginal Experience (Tier 2)
Faculty members are carefully selected for their superb academic qualifications, their applied public policy experience and their demonstrated interest in applying academic research to real-world public policy problems.
