Great news for Ryerson University’s School of Early Childhood Studies. Dr. Judith Bernhard is returning!
Dr. Bernhard (PhD, University of Toronto) is a tenured full professor with over 25 years of teaching and research experience in the areas of diversity, inclusion, and settlement of newcomer children and families in early childhood settings.
