Canada Research Chair, Faculty of Education, University of Windsor Dr. Shijing Xu is Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in International and Intercultural Reciprocal Learning in Education at the University of Windsor. As the Principal Investigator, she co-directed the SSHRC Partnership Grant Project, “Reciprocal Learning in teacher education and school education between Canada and China” with Dr. Michael Connelly at OISE/University of Toronto (https://reciprocal-learning.ca/pages/). The project has involved six Canadian and Chinese universities, the Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB), the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and more than 40 Canadian and Chinese schools participating in reciprocal learning for pre- and in-service teachers and school students. Six cross-cultural research teams of university researchers and graduate students study the process thereby ensuring global impact by bringing social, cultural, educational and economic benefits to both countries. (e.g. See participant events, activities and assessments captured in news reports and conferences here https://reciprocal-learning.ca/pages/news_n_events.php, and here https://reciprocallearning.ca/c2019/ ).
