UnborderED Knowledge is a bilingual, interdisciplinary, pan-Canadian partnership aimed at expanding equitable access to higher education, research, and training opportunities for individuals with lived experience of forced migration in Canada.

We welcome students, researchers, educators, community organizations, and individuals with lived experience of forced displacement who are interested in promoting equitable access to knowledge and education.

Yes, the project is based at the University of Ottawa and involves collaborations with scholars and institutions across Canada.

We support community-engaged research, knowledge mobilization, mentorship programs, and events that promote educational inclusion and justice.

Yes, we are committed to bilingualism. Our materials and events are offered in English and French whenever possible, and we strive to include other languages based on community needs.

Knowledge mobilization refers to making academic research accessible and useful to broader communities, particularly those directly impacted by the issues being studied.

Our focus on centering lived experience, practicing ethical collaboration, and building long-term, community-driven partnerships sets us apart. We aim to “unborder” who can produce and access knowledge.

While we do not provide direct settlement or financial support, we work to increase access to educational opportunities and foster networks of support through our programming and partnerships.
