The CSEW is a community of practice, engaged in dialogue, research and action on learning and work issues. Its active steering committee and three working groups bring together academic, labour and community researchers and practitioners. All contribute to the internal life of OISE/UT, both in the graduate program and the pre-service program. They also support the organizational capacity of the labour movement, and develop practical alternative tools to the dominant neo-liberal discourses on learning and work.

The WORK and LIFELONG LEARNING (WALL) Research Network is an initiative of the Centre for the Study of Education and Work.
