The Centre for Leadership and Diversity (CLD) was formed in 2004 and is housed in the Department of Theory and Policy Studies at OISE/UT.

Our Mission

CLD is devoted to engendering, promoting and sustaining an interest in, and commitment to, leadership and diversity.

Centre initiatives are intended to encourage and nurture activities that advance the cause of equity, social justice and democracy in matters of leadership and policy. The activities include:

• conducting and disseminating research

• liaising with schools and school systems
• providing opportunities for novice researchers

The Centre endeavors to forge a strong connection with practitioner-focusedelements of OISE/UT, in particular, the pre-service teacher education program and the principals' qualification program.

Members of the Centre include faculty from the department of Theory and Policy Studies of OISE/UT and other universities, as well as students and practitioners.

We welcome anyone who shares these interests to join the Centre. To join, click here.
