What our students say…
The professors and students that I’ve met in the program have opened my eyes to
the issues of sustainability. They have shifted how I see myself in relation to the
environment and the work that I want to do in schools towards democratic
change.
— Danielle Dominick, MEd
The level of support from faculty and staff that I've received inside and outside my
department has made all the difference in my transition to OISE. I've enjoyed every class
I've taken and wish I could take more! I feel like I've found a great home at OISE and am
excited about spending the next few years here.
---Anjali Helferty, PhD expected 2017
AECD is radical, flexible, and transformative for student and the society that is awaiting
her.
---Sona Kazemi, PhD expected 2018
What our faculty members are doing…
I research alternative organizations, radical labour and social movements, and critical
community development.
--- Marcelo Vieta
I love both learning and eating, so I developed a course called the Pedagogy of Food
that combines these basic human activities into one area of study.
---Jennifer Sumner
I focus on infusing Aboriginal perspectives into mainstream education discourse and
increasing access to higher education for Aboriginal people.
---Jean-Paul Restoule
I study the impact of war, displacement, and violence on women's learning using
Marxist feminism and anti-racism pedagogy through women’s memoirs, the arts of
story-telling, dance, drama, painting and film.
