York University has shared two updates related to research and innovation on campus. YorkU has launched the Mad Studies Hub, an organized research unit dedicated to advancing social justice through interdisciplinary research, policy, and practice. YorkU Professor and inaugural Hub Director Marina Morrow explained that “Mad Studies” is an activist movement that stems from individuals who want to reclaim their experiences with psychiatric systems. The university was also recently named the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) Hub Chair for Sustainable Development Goal 10 – Reducing Inequality. In this three-year role, YorkU will share research projects and initiatives related to reducing inequalities in communities.
