The Faculty of Education is proposing to offer a Master of Education Curriculum cohort with a focus on diverse women in leadership for qualified in-service educators and administrators beginning in the summer of 2026.
This program will provide an opportunity to explore discourse of leadership through feminine and feminist ways of knowing, being and doing. It will offer opportunities to critically examine spaces of educational leadership (formal and informal) and to recognize the ways women can embody leadership attributes in schools. The cohort will comprise of women—students and professors—thus creating learning spaces where the experiences of diverse women leaders can be critically examined and explored with a view towards supporting and inspiring leadership. To develop understandings of leadership rooted in intersectionality, frameworks that make visible power differences in in education systems, e.g. critical feminism, anti-racist feminist theory, decolonization, culturally sustaining leadership, will be used to envision more inclusive and equitable leadership.
