It is estimated that over 7 000 Doctoral degrees are awarded in Canada each year, dealing with a variety of topics, across a number of different disciplines. Some of this work is picked up by traditional media, some finds its way into bookstores but, admittedly, much of the hard work that candidates put into their research—often spanning years of study—goes unnoticed and unread.
Off the Shelf is a weekly voicEd Radio series dedicated to highlighting some of the latest education research being completed by PhD and EdD candidates. We aim to give you a taste of what has inspired today’s researchers, what questions have driven them and what impact they hope to have on the education world.
