The Collaborative Specialization in Education, Francophonies and Diversity will critically examine educational issues in the context of Francophone linguistic minorities in Ontario, in Canada, and in the world, with the notions of equity, diversity, and minoritization at the core of this critical examination. The emphasis will be on understanding social practices in education, looking specifically at how difference gets constructed, problematized, and transformed.

Upon successful completion of the requirements of the home graduate unit and the collaborative specialization, students receive the notation “Completed Collaborative Specialization in Education, Francophonies and Diversity” on their transcript and parchment.
