For over ten years, the Pat Clifford Award has recognized the work of emerging researchers - their research contributions, their promise, and their commitment to breaking new ground or revisiting commonly held assumptions in education policy, practice or theory in Canada. Two Pat Clifford awards were bestowed in 2021, each at the PhD level to Oyemolade (Molade) Osibodu, currently of York University, and Amber Moore, at Simon Fraser University.
EdCan's President and CEO, Max Cooke, congratulated this year's winners and thanked the award jurors who worked hard to select them from an impressive and diverse cohort of applicants. "The theory and applied research of Molade Osibodu and Amber Moore have the potential to make a big impact in K-12 education, ensuring classrooms become more inclusive and responsive to students' major challenges."
