Faculty of Arts Priorities

The Faculty of Arts at Toronto Metropolitan University inspires, informs and engages. Our 225+ world-class researchers are leading path-breaking projects that improve and enrich the lives of Canadians, First Nations peoples, and citizens and migrants globally. We have established a strong reputation for research and teaching that is impactful, equity-informed and transformative. Committed to interdisciplinary studies and a focus on community-engaged research, the Faculty is currently defined by five strategic priorities.
