Education Research Community

The CFD Team for Research and Evaluation in Education hosts an Education Research Community (ERC) based at the Li Ki Shing Knowledge Institute. ERC is a partnership between CFD and AERO, with member organizations CIPE, C-QuIPS and the Sunnybrook ERU, and is free of charge to anyone who may want to attend.

What is the ERC?

The Education Research Community (ERC) is an interdisciplinary mix of aspiring education researchers made up of administrators, educators, and clinical teachers from varied roles, professions, and experience levels with research.

ERC has a membership model where members can sign up to share their works in progress with the community in a friendly, informal environment.

There are 3 formats for the sessions:

Invited Talks (a presentation from an invited guest)
Open Sessions (ERC members bring their own work and get feedback from the group, e.g. abstract or presentation for conference)
Journal club (a facilitated discussion about relevant articles in the health professions education literature)

In addition, ERC hosts an annual colloquium (see below for details).

ERC supports a space for academic freedom and the opportunity to discuss diverse viewpoints and ideas from researchers and practitioners, including perspectives that may differ from or challenge commonly held assumptions and positions.

When is the ERC?

ERC typically meets every other Monday from 12-1pm during the academic year in Li Ka Shing Room 573 (with some exceptions, noted with an asterisk on the schedule). Since September 2020 ERC has been virtual on Zoom.
