About Francine

I am an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at Brock University. My research explores global education governance, policy, and leadership; and education in emergency contexts. Through my studies, I seek to expose and understand power hierarchies within global education policy-making processes and governance structures.

I have served in an advisory role to a range of non-governmental organizations, international financial institutions, and UN agencies, and am co-editor of Comparative Education Review.  My book, International Aid to Education: Power Dynamics in an Era of Partnership, was published in 2019 by Columbia University's Teachers College Press.

Prior to joining Brock University, I was faculty at the University of Massachusetts Boston, and in the past worked with an NGO in Laos and as a public school teacher in Toronto. I earned my PhD from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto.
