The Institute on Globalization and the Human Condition was created in early 1998 following the designation of globalization and the human condition as a strategic area of research by the Senate of McMaster University. The Institute brings together a group of approximately 30 scholars primarily from the social sciences and humanities disciplines.

The Institute acts as:

• a facilitator of research and interdisciplinary discussion
• a centre for dialogue between the university and the community on globalization issues
• a promoter and administrator of new graduate programming (MA in Globalization Studies)
