CFGS

Since its formal inception in 1998 The Centre for Global Studies (CFGS) at the University of Victoria has had a mandate to conduct collaborative, multi-disciplinary and cross-regional inquiry into the impacts of globalization. The centre’s activities in Victoria, Canada, and abroad are designed to promote critical citizenship in a complex and rapidly changing global environment. CFGS research and public engagement build upon the University of Victoria’s intellectual expertise in four core themes: governance, environmental challenges, social justice, and culture and identity.
