Du milieu universitaire à la fonction publique (...)

Du milieu universitaire à la fonction publique : le périple en deux actes d’une évaluatrice de programmes
(Présentation en anglais)

La transition des études supérieures au milieu de travail peut être non linéaire et imprévisible, tout en se révélant enrichissante au bout du compte. Je parlerai du parcours qui m’a menée de l’environnement universitaire à la fonction publique, et plus précisément au Service correctionnel du Canada (SCC). J’aborderai en outre l’évaluation de programmes dans le contexte du SCC.

From academia to the public service...

From academia to the public service: The tale of a program evaluator in two acts
The transition from graduate studies to the workforce can be both non-linear and unpredictable, yet ultimately rewarding. I will speak about my path from the academic environment to working in a public service setting, specifically the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC). I will also discuss program evaluation in the context of the CSC.

Contextualisation de la fermeture d’une école communautaire

Contextualisation de la fermeture d’une école communautaire urbaine : les politiques de l’Ontario, la politique municipale et l’érosion de la citoyenneté
(Présentation en anglais)
Les dernières études qui touchent à la fermeture des écoles — plus particulièrement celles qui proviennent des É.-U. — ont tendance à souligner le rôle des politiques néolibérales. Dans quelle mesure le néolibéralisme est-il pertinent pour expliquer les fermetures d’écoles dans le contexte des politiques ontariennes ?

Contextualizing the closure of an urban community school

Contextualizing the closure of an urban community school: Ontario policy, municipal politics, and the erosion of citizenship
Recent research on school closures, particularly from the US, tends to emphasize the role of neoliberal policies. To what degree is neoliberalism a useful explanation for school closures in the Ontario policy context? This presentation examines the historical, geographic, political, and policy context of a recent school closure in Ottawa.
