We are excited to invite members of the University of Toronto community (students, faculty, alumni, and staff) to the 2026 OISE Graduate Student Research Conference (GSRC), hosted annually by the Graduate Students' Association (GSA) at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE).

This year’s conference theme, Generative Hope: Possibilities in Education Research, is inspired by a sustainability ethos embodied by advocates of hope including bell hooks, Paolo Freire, Rebecca Solnit, Jane Goodall, and more. Come explore exciting OISE student research, issues in radical hope, and new ideas at the 2026 GSRC!

Awaken and realign the body and mind with a grounding meditation, nourishing breath practice, and supportive movement. Ease any stress or strain, maintain energy, enhance wellbeing, and perhaps feel a sense of wholeness.

Take a break and meet us on the dance floor! Join our very own CAO, Helen Huang, as she leads participants through some simple, easy-to-follow line dance moves. During this half hour break, take some time to socialize with your colleagues and release some energy through some movement and guaranteed laughter.

Join us every Wednesday from 11:30am–12:00pm for The Midweek Reset, part of OISE’s Wellness Half Hour. Each week offers something different; whether it’s light exercise, drawing, mindfulness, games, or even a walk outside. Think of it as a midweek pause to recharge, reset, and connect with others in our community.

We also welcome guest hosts! If you’d like to lead a session or suggest a wellness activity, reach out to oisecao@utoronto.ca.
