Organization and Objectives
CSSE
The Canadian Society for the Study of Education is the largest organization of professors, students, researchers and practitioners in education in Canada. CSSE is the major national voice for those who create educational knowledge, prepare teachers and educational leaders, and apply research in the schools, classrooms and institutions of Canada.
Founded in 1972, the bilingual CSSE is an umbrella organization consisting of several national constituent associations.
The objective of CSSE is to promote the advancement of Canadian research and scholarship in education. In order to fulfill its mandate, CSSE will: |
|
- provide for the discussion of studies, issues and trends in education, and for the dissemination of research findings;
- promote exchanges among members and other educational researchers in Canada and internationally;
- foster partnerships and, through educational research, influence public policy and help determine the nature, structure and funding of the research agenda.
CSSE endeavours to accomplish this objective through involving researchers reflective of the sociocultural diversity of Canada.
CFHSS
The Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, known as the Federation, is a membership-based organization that is made up of 66 scholarly associations and 71 universities and colleges, comprising more than 70,000 scholars, students and practitioners across Canada.
CSSE is one of the largest scholarly associations in the Federation.
Through its activities, the Federation strives to support and advance Canada's research in the humanities and social science, fields which are intrinsically important to the development of social, cultural and economic understanding, thus giving our society necessary tools to address the most complex of questions.
