CSSE Annual Conference
About CSSE
About CSSE
The Canadian Society for the Study of Education (CSSE) annual conference is Canada’s largest gathering of researchers, scholars, graduate students, and practitioners in education. The mandate is to build connections among educational researchers and those in the field, including teachers, education assistants, school psychologists, school and school district administrators, and others. This dynamic four-day conference focuses on theory and praxis in every facet of education, including teacher education, educational psychology, curriculum studies, Indigenous education, women in education, educational foundations, educational research, and comparative & international education. Teachers, school psychologists, education assistants, principals, superintendents, and more are very welcome at the CSSE conference.
The CSSE Conference is part of the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, which is Canada’s largest gathering of academics, and one of the largest in the world. Congress is the convergence of scholarly associations, each holding their annual conference under one umbrella at a Canadian university. Every year, for over 90 years, Congress has collaborated with a partner university, participating scholarly associations, and partners to bring you inspiring presentations, panels, workshops, and cultural events.
