Sylvie A. Lamoureux

I am a Francohone from Sudbury, Ontario with more than 20 years’ experience in the Franco-Ontarian educational system, in and out of the classroom, as well as in administrative positions. My key research interests are the experiences of francophone youth in Ontario and elsewhere, in schools and in postsecondary institutions. I explore questions of access, success, and experience from the student’s perspective. This interest led me to change career paths and to enter academia at the University of Ottawa.

As an associate professor, I teach in OLBI’s Second Language Teaching undergraduate program as well as the Masters in Bilingualism Studies. I am also cross-appointed at the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Education.
Currently, I serve as the Faculty of Arts’ Vice-Dean Undergraduate Studies (2016-2019). In 2017, I was elected to the University Senate, the Senate Executive and the University’s Board of Governors.
