Our research group ‘Pathways to Education and Work’ at OISE (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education), University of Toronto, has a new website that has been developed by one of our graduate students (Jacqui Bealieu). We will use it to post work from our various projects on pathways and we will also have a semi-regular blog.

We hope that CR&DALL subscribers may wish to look at this site and to subscribe to our blog.

Pathways to Education and Work Research Group at OISE (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education)

We are a research team that investigates the nature of pathways within and between colleges and universities, and between postsecondary education and the labour market. Our research currently focuses on Canada and will soon incorporate additional international jurisdictions.

Our research program also examines the many aspects of building pathways, including topics such as postsecondary education policy, credit transfer, relationships between sending and receiving institutions, and emerging models of pathways and collaboration.

We are committed to using social justice frameworks when exploring implications for qualifications, students, teachers, and institutional identity.

Principal Investigator: Dr. Leesa Wheelahan

Dr. Gavin Moodie, Dr. Ruth Childs, Dr. Christine Arnold, Mary Catharine Lennon, Eric Lavigne, Amanda Brijmohan, Jinli Yang, Jacqueline Beaulieu, Jean-Claude Taylor-Cline.
