Overview

About the program

The EdD in Social Justice Education (SJE) at the University of Toronto is distinct from the PhD in that students are encouraged to orient towards applied and theoretical dimensions of professional educational practice understood as knowledge, teaching, and learning which takes place within or beyond schooling.

This program allows students to integrate doctoral level studies alongside social change work and praxis; the EdD attracts a diverse range of professionals, including teachers, school and community leaders, health and legal professionals, and those working, volunteering, or seeking employment in related fields in social justice education.
