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/leadership roles. 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 a Full 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 asthe University of Ottawa’s Associate Vice-Provost, Doctoral and Postdoctoral Studies.
