On behalf of the Faculty and staff, welcome to the Department of Graduate Studies and Research in the Faculty of Education. The Department offers a Master of Education, including Collaborative programs in Gerontology and Women’s Studies, and a Joint PhD program with Brock University and the Universities of Windsor and Western Ontario. We are home to over 35 full-time MEd and 25 PhD students who are mentored by dynamic faculty members with active research agendas in a broad range of educational fields of study, many of whom have external funding to support graduate work in areas such as early literacy development, children’s mathematical development, large scale testing and evaluation, Aboriginal Education, environmental education, and math and science education.

 

Faculty associated with our new Multi-Data Convergence Laboratory mentor graduate students in mixed methods research with large scale data sets and video analysis. Dr. Judy Iseke-Barnes, Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Education mentors graduate student research in Indigenous Education and coordinates research programs in the Indigenous Storytelling Lab and Studio. I encourage you to visit the research and publications pages on this website to learn about the range of funding, research and publications in progress in the Department.

 

We are committed to supporting a flourishing research culture. We encourage students coming to the Department to become fully immersed in the research community. Each year invited speakers from a range of disciplinary areas come to the Faculty of Education to share their research expertise with graduate students and faculty. The Department also hosts monthly research seminars, a graduate student conference and various workshops throughout the academic year. In addition, our graduate students are encouraged and financially supported to present their research at scholarly conferences.

 

We hope you will visit the pages on our Departmental website and find what you are looking for. If not, please contact us.

 

 

Dr. Constance Russell, Chair
