Democratic Resilience
In Canada, this includes safeguarding public discourse, protecting civic processes, and ensuring that policy and decision-making remain robust in complex and rapidly changing environments.
At the University of Toronto, this work brings together expertise in public policy, law, data science, and social science to address challenges such as information integrity, digital governance, and institutional coordination—strengthening systems that support informed participation and evidence-based policy.
Why this matters
Information integrity
Supports efforts to understand and counter misinformation and disinformation in digital environments.
Governance in complex systems
Strengthens policy and regulatory approaches for digital platforms, data use, and institutional coordination.
Trust and participation
Reinforces public trust, civic engagement, and the resilience of democratic institutions.
