CLSEW

The Centre for Learning, Social Economy & Work (CLSEW) aims to understand and enrich the often under-recognized contributions of work and learning dynamics throughout their full range of variation in Canadian society and internationally.

CLSEW’s research focuses on marginalized social groups, and work and learning in the social economy, public and private sectors.

Established at the University of Toronto in 2014, CLSEW merges two research centres: Centre for the Study of Education & Work, and the Social Economy Centre. (Click on History to know more about us).
