Faculty of Social Science and Humanities

As our world rapidly advances with technology, it is more important than ever to be mindful of how society shapes technology and vice versa.

The Faculty of Social Science and Humanities (FSSH) is the centre of research and teaching about technology through a social lens.

While societal needs and the technologies deployed to meet those needs intersect, we pause to ask tough questions like Why are some technologies biased to certain social values and norms?, Who does technological progress leave behind? and What is the cost of technological change to the environment?

While we have the technologies and knowledge to build a sustainable future, ethical considerations must be incorporated into the design, uses and effects of innovation.

FSSH is the voice that keeps technology human.

Our interdisciplinary collaboration, community engagement and knowledge of technology's social origins, uses and effects set us apart. At the same time, our commitment to equity, justice and sustainability propels us forward.

With your support, we will continue to unlock exciting possibilities, energize ethical change and shape a future in which technology serves as a force for good.
