ABOUT

The EDST Blog is a dynamic community platform led by graduate students in UBC’s Department of Educational Studies

We share research, ideas, and reflections. Curated by Graduate students for the EDST community, the blog highlights diverse perspectives on education, social justice, policy, and pedagogy. It’s a space to spark dialogue, showcase student work, engage faculty, staff and alumni, and chronicle our shared academic journeys.

Meet our team

Led by our blog editor and supported by an enthusiastic editorial team, the EDST Blog Team works to bring the stories and research of our community to life.
