Welcome to the Centre for Leadership & Diversity

The Centre for Leadership & Diversity (CLD) was established in 2004 and is housed in the Department of Leadership, Higher & Adult Education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. The centre is focused on Advancing the Cause of Equity, Social Justice, and Democracy in Education.

Faculty and students associated with the centre work collaboratively in the areas of leadership focused on creating more significant equity, social justice, and democracy in education. 

We continue recruiting affiliated members from school systems, other universities, and other international education stakeholders.
