The best research is collaborative.
Read on to learn more about the interdisciplinary research taking place in our research centres and groups.
Centre for the Study of War, Atrocity, and Genocide
Researchers at the Centre for the Study of War, Atrocity, and Genocide (C-WAG) engage with important questions about state-sponsored violence, including the structural violence and displacement that accompanies colonial practices, war, and genocide and the role that transitional and retributive justice play in the reconstruction of post-conflict and post-colonial societies. Community researcher partners, affiliates, and Nipissing University students are also an integral part of the Centre's research practices and ethic. As a place of knowledge production, methodological innovation and training, the Centre makes academic research on genocide and state violence accessible to the wider Nipissing University and North Bay communities as well as to other sectors of society.
Rare Dementia Support (RDS) Canada
RDS Canada provides a virtual space for anyone affected by a rare dementia offering access to information, tailored individual and group support and guidance, and connection with others who are affected by similar conditions. The team includes dementia care practitioner specialists, researchers, educators and individuals with lived experience through our Advisory Group.
RDS Canada is committed to ongoing research about best practices in the provision of support for people living with or caring for someone with rare dementia. Our learning is mobilized through the delivery of RDS Canada, presentations to lay and academic audiences, education and the development of resources for people living with dementia and practitioners.
