• CUS - Centre for Urban Studies
• CWSE - Centre for Women's Studies in Education
  
  The Centre for Women's Studies in Education (CWSE) was established in July 1983 bringing together an existing core of feminist faculty, professional research staff (research officers) and graduate students involved in the study of women and education. The specific objectives of the Centre are to advance the excellence of faculty, researchers and graduate students working in women's studies through inter- and multi-disciplinary discussion and research; to enhance the capacity of OISE's Women's Studies in Education focus and Interdepartmental Specializations to play a leading role in graduate training; to nurture linkages between OISE's Women's Studies and the wider constituency of educators concerned with women's issues.
  
  The Centre has worked to achieve these objectives through the establishment of disciplinary and interdisciplinary feminist research, the implementation of programs and activities to facilitate the scholarly and professional development of staff and students, and the promotion of community outreach between the Centre and a wide range of professional and volunteer women's organizations. Since 1996 CWSE has become an internal research centre of OISE/UT. More...
