Centre director Lou Hammond Ketilson awarded largest Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council grant in U of S history!

In partnership with the Community-University Institute for Social Research, she will lead a team investigating how social economy enterprises help build more respectful relationships within communities, with the environment, and among stakeholders.

See the press release and a summary of the proposed research for more details.

The Centre for the Study of Co-operatives is an interdisciplinary teaching and research institution located on the University of Saskatchewan campus in Saskatoon. Contract partners in the co-operative sector include Credit Union Central of Saskatchewan, Federated Co-operatives Ltd., Concentra Financial (formerly Co-operative Trust), and The Co-operators. The centre is also supported by Saskatchewan Industry and Resources and the University of Saskatchewan, with Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and the CUMIS Group making additional contributions. The university not only houses our offices but provides in-kind contributions from a number of departments and units—Agricultural Economics, History, Management and Marketing, Political Studies, and Sociology, among others—as well as financial assistance with operations and nonsalary expenditures. We acknowledge with gratitude the ongoing support of all our sponsoring organizations.
