Seminar Webcasts

Join us for a special CIDEC seminar with Dr. Aditi Arur, who will draw on her research about girls’ education in India. She will examine the tensions between program-defined outcomes, such as school completion and delayed marriage, and the broader, uneven processes through which education reshapes gender relations.

Join us for a screening of Moolam: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Minds, a new documentary by writer and director Sangita Iyer, followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker. Bringing together educators, mental health experts, authors, engineers, parents, and founders of contemporary Gurukulas in India and the United States, the film explores growing concerns about education and mental well-being through the lens of Indian Knowledge Systems.

In an era marked by national truth-telling initiatives, education systems remain slow to respond. The new book Truth-Telling Pedagogies, co-created with OISE alumni, makes a compelling case for critical, ethical engagement with history, against the backdrop of post-truth politics and curriculum resistance. This hybrid book launch features the authors and editors in conversation. Join us!
