Welcome to the Centre for Cross-Faculty Inquiry in Education (CCFI)
The Centre for Cross-Faculty Inquiry in Education (CCFI) draws faculty and students together, in graduate programs, courses, lectures, workshops and other interactive venues, to address Educational issues or topics of common concern from inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives.
CCFI seeks to drive intellectual and social innovation through the nurturance of transdisciplinary scholarship in Education. CCFI thus serves as both an active academic unit that provides graduate programs and courses, and in so doing, contributes to the development of knowledge advances across multiple fields of inquiry in Education, as well as an incubator space for the development of cross-faculty initiatives and collaborative inquiry.

Global Citizenships: A participatory digital project using photograph and story
Yasmeen Ahmad, CCFI MEd student
My online project, Global Citizenships, is a participatory space for showcasing diverse, multiple and shifting interpretations of the meaning of global citizenship from personal perspectives. Participants are invited to consider their relationship to the definition of global citizenship by contributing photographs and stories that represent their connections with the term. My graduating paper explores how global citizenship is being defined and interpreted from multiple locations including: scholarly and professional literature, academic institutions, government organizations, teacher unions, a professional association, intergovernmental organizations, corporations, non-governmental organizations, faith-based groups, and Wikipedia.
I hope the project will build an awareness that because global citizenship enjoys multiple and diverse definitions, it is open to our own interpretation and participation. Read More
