Welcome to Social Policy Lab
The Social Policy Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy brings together Canadian and international scholars, researchers, activists, advocates, students, and policymakers to tackle pressing current and future social challenges.
Through initiatives like the annual Munk International Institute on Social Policy, research talks, and the Social Policy Research series, the Lab fosters a vibrant community dedicated to developing, debating, and advancing innovative social policy solutions. Its work is driven by a commitment to reducing inequality, promoting justice, and enhancing social welfare and well-being.
The Lab supports cutting-edge social policy research and knowledge translation while offering opportunities to explore innovative research in the field. By encouraging collaboration across disciplines, it aims to inspire new research agendas and impactful projects.
A key focus of the Lab is nurturing the next generation of social policy leaders, researchers, advocates, and policymakers by engaging junior scholars and students in meaningful and transformative ways.
