International collaborations
Did you know the Faculty of Education regularly hosts visiting scholars from around the world? These experts play important roles in our Faculty’s research community. We currently have three international researchers in residence: Elahe Aminifar, Edith Braun, and Jeong-Ah Lee, who are conducting work in collaboration with several of our professors. These research domains range from critical and multilingual mathematics education and evaluation in higher education, to second language education.
