Caregiver work should be treated like a globally traded commodity: U of T study

U of T astronomers to help students in West Africa reach for the stars

Power shift: U of T researcher applies AI to monitor city's electrical grid

Meet the graduate student behind U of T's first humour & politics course

Hiring risk executives to protect U.S. banks backfired, contributing to 2008 crash: U of T study

July 18, 2017

When America’s major banks created executive positions to reduce exposure to financial risk more than a decade ago, their intent was similar to an employer who designates a fire warden to protect a workplace against smoke and flames.

Feeling distressed?

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
