CIDEC’s mandate is to promote excellence, collaboration, and innovation in comparative international education research and teaching at OISE. During the 2012-2013 year, the CIDEC community included 48 core and affiliated faculty members, 5 adjunct faculty, and 5 visiting scholars. CIDEC is the institutional anchor for OISE’s popular collaborative degree in Comparative, International and Development Education, which draws graduate students and faculty from seven programs at OISE. Approximately 120 graduate student researchers with an interest in international issues and comparative methodologies are affiliated with the Centre. This year, we are pleased to present an annual report that reflects the wide range of geographic and thematic research interests supported by CIDEC. We highlight in a (i) new book project Public Private Partnerships in Education: New Actors and Modes of Governance in a Globalising World – a book project that tackles the complex role of public private partnerships in education (p. 16), (ii) Stephen Anderson Chile Project, and (iii) initiatives of the Canada-Afghanistan/Central Eurasia Education Research Group (p. 10). In breadth, this year’s CIDEC research has taken us to Central Asia, Chile, China, and Africa. Offshoots of the many research projects have resulted in a critical mass of publications (p. 21), clear evidence that CIDEC brings momentum to international research on education at OISE. On another note, this year we lost two of our esteemed faculty, Joseph Farrell and Roxana Ng. Joe Farrell was a founding director of the CIDE center and program and an OISE faculty for 40 years. His award winning research on alternative schools in the developing world, educational planning, and equity in education has informed educational practice and scholarship worldwide. Roxana Ng’s research on the experiences of immigrant women has shaped the field of immigration studies in Canada. Her work on institutional ethnography and embodied learning attracted interest from students and colleagues from around the world. Both faculty will be deeply missed by all of us at CIDEC, OISE, and the broader comparative, international, education community. CIDEC was, once again, privileged to host a large number of comparative scholars from around the world at our 2012-2013 Seminar Series including: Elaine Unterhalter and , Susan Robertson(UK), Jane Kenway (Aus) , Nico van Ouverden and Rona Dhalla van Ouverden (Netherlands), Mehrunissa Ahmed Ali (Ryerson University), Mir Afzal Tajik (the Aga Khan University), and Yael Tamir (Israel), Ray Langsten (Cairo) and Nahla Abdo (Carleton University). Our students also joined together for a day of presentations, at the newly re-named Joseph P. Farrell Student Research Symposium in February, which show-cased work from across departments and degrees. We also saw Dr. Karen Mundy move to her new position as Associate Dean Research as well Vice President of the Comparative International Education Society (CIES) for North America. To this end, OISE will host the next year’s annual conference of the CIES in March 2014. CIDEC both as a center and a collaborative program extends their congratulations to Professor Mundy and is ready to support her to successfully host the next CIES. CIDE ANNUAL REPORT 2012-2013 4 This report will also feature some of the key activities, publications and high level presentations of the CIDE faculty, students, CIDE Students Association, and indeed some of our alumni who are doing excellent work in academia and development organizations within Canada and around the world. We hope and believe you will find this report comprehensive and educative. Stephen Anderson & Sarfaroz Niyozov Co-Directors, CIDEC Special Thanks to Dr. Karen Mundy who was Co-Director to Dec. 31, 2013. Dr. Mundy remains as CIDE faculty in addition to new responsibilities as Associate Dean, Research at OISE and President-Elect of CIES.

CIDE ANNUAL REPORT 2012-2013 9 CIDEC RESEARCH GRANTS AND PROJECTS 2012-2013 Canada-China University Linkages in a New Era of Global Geo-Politics Principal Investigator: Dr. Ruth Hayhoe Funding: Social Science and Humanities Research Council Research Grant, $111,001.00 Duration: 2011-2014 Canada-China university linkages date back to the 1980s. The CIDA-supported Canada-China University Linkage Program (CCULP, 1988-1995) paired 31 Canadian universities with Chinese counterparts in areas such as health, agriculture, education, and engineering in order to develop the institutional capacity of the Chinese universities and support them in contributing to China’s development. Building on the successes and strengths of CCULP, the Canada-China Special University Linkage Consolidation Program (SULCP, 1996-2001) supported 11 projects involving 25 Canadian and more than 200 Chinese universities, teaching hospitals, schools, and governmental and non-governmental agencies. The combined span of CCULP and SULCP (1985-2001) coincided with a period of pivotal change in Chinese society. Indeed, apart from Soviet Union in the 1950s, no other country has assisted the development of China’s higher education at a comparable scale. This project has aimed to explore the historical contribution made by the universities and other social institutions on both sides that were involved in these linkages, and to see what lessons can be learned from the legacy of these projects. Over the past two years, the research team has interviewed about sixty five scholars and government officials in both Canada and China who had a direct involvement in the project. In the past year, we focused on interviews with Canadian scholars and made a research trip to Edmonton and Vancouver, to meet with scholars at University of Alberta, University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University in May. In September, we made a trip to Quebec, interviewing scholars at Laval and Universite de Montreal. We also visited Ottawa and made interviews at the Headquarters of CIDA and the AUCC. For further details, see the project website: http://www.oise.utoronto.ca/cidec/Research/Canada_China_University_Linkages.html Upcoming in 2014 will be a major conference at Tsinghua University in Beijing, with keynote speakers from Canada and China who have played a leadership role across the fields of management, agriculture, health, engineering, education and minority cultures. For the conference rationale and call for papers, see http://www.oise.utoronto.ca/cidec/Research/conference_2014.html Education For All: Global Politics and Prospects Principal Investigator: Dr. Karen Mundy, with collaborators: Dr. Ruth Hayhoe, Dr. Prachi Srivastava and postdoctoral fellow Dr. Francine Menashy. Funding: SSHRCC Standard Grant $109, 000 Duration: 2010 - 2014 The research proposed for this SSHRC is focused on the evolution of global efforts to achieve Education for All (EFA). It will focus on a) understanding the role of the World Bank in shaping international collective action on EFA; (including in particular its role in promoting public-private partnerships); b) exploring the roles of emergent donors (such as China and India); c) documenting the role of newer/newly emerged foundations in education and development, and of new transnational non-state actors in EFA; and d) mapping the effects of interventions by these new actors in two African countries (Kenya and Tanzania). The project will highlight the continued gulf between collective aspirations and CIDE ANNUAL REPORT 2012-2013 10
