SSHRC Scholarly Journal Grant Awarded to Lesley Andres

Lesley Andres, Professor in EDST, has been awarded a $67,650 SSHRC Aid to Scholarly Journals grant to support the work of the Canadian Journal of Higher Education, a fully online, open source publication of the Canadian Society for the Study of Higher Education. Established in 1970, the Journal publishes peer-reviewed manuscripts on topics that are relevant to the Canadian higher education system and its structures, processes, and community. The CJHE promotes research with international and comparative dimensions in relation to Canadian higher education. The Journal is the only national, refereed research journal in Canada focusing on higher education as a field of scholarly inquiry. In 2006 Lesley took on the role of the journal’s Editor-in-Chief and Sharon Hu, instructional designer in EPLT, became the journal manager. Together, they will continue to incorporate additional features of the OJS (Open Journal Systems) into the CJHE with the goal of promoting open access publishing in higher education.
