University of Regina

Set in the heart of the Canadian prairies we are a comprehensive, mid-sized university where the opportunities are as limitless as the horizon. Our campuses are on Treaty 4 and 6 - the territories of the nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda peoples, and the homeland of the Michif/Métis nation. It is our responsibility to strengthen relationships with Indigenous communities to build a more inclusive future for all. Our three federated colleges, 10 faculties, 25 academic departments, and 18 research centres foster innovative research with practical and theoretical applications. We are committed to cultivating the potential of our 16,700 students and supporting their health and well-being. We take learning beyond the classroom through work and volunteer experiences to develop career-ready graduates.

Let’s go far, together.

Does ‘federated unlearning’ in AI improve data privacy, or create a new cybersecurity risk?

As governments push for stronger data rights like the “right to be forgotten,” evidence suggests AI may not fully comply, raising new regulatory challenges.

Treaty 4 brings up hard questions like how did ‘Crown land’ come to be?

The official interpretation of Treaty 4 is historically contested. And if that interpretation is wrong, then Canada’s claim to “Crown land” and settler ownership rests on a deeply unstable foundation.

What can whale films tell us about Marineland’s threatened belugas and dolphins?

Whether capturing them on film, containing them in amusement parks, or subjecting them to scientific experiments, our curiosity about whales and dolphins has compelled us to capture them out of the ocean.

Órbita da Terra pode virar palco de uma catástrofe com o lançamento de milhões de satélites

Os impactos culturais, espirituais e, principalmente, ambientais não são levados em consideração nos projetos de lançamento de milhares de satélites.
When wetlands are drained, carbon-rich sediments are exposed to the air, allowing rapid decomposition and the release of carbon dioxide. (Ducks Unlimited Canada)

Draining wetlands produces substantial emissions in the Canadian Prairies

Some tout wetland drainage as providing numerous benefits, including reducing emissions. This assertion is not supported by science.
