DeGroote's research approach
DeGroote’s research is leading-edge, interdisciplinary and complementary to several wide-ranging disciplines within the McMaster faculty and beyond. In breaking down silos between academia and society, our research is driven by current business events and issues relevant to Canadian and global organizations and individuals.
Land acknowledgement
McMaster University recognizes and acknowledges that it is located on the traditional territories of the Mississauga and Haudenosaunee nations, and within the lands protected by the “Dish with One Spoon” wampum agreement. DeGroote also acknowledges the Toronto land we are on is the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat people. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.
