  • “Dr. Janelle Joseph is a riveting thinker and speaker--her ideas are not just poignant, researched, and impactful, they are essential. As President of the Learning Specialists of Canada, I had the honour of inviting Dr. Joseph to offer a keynote on race and embodied learning. The audience left with critical new understandings of their own work, not to mention having been moved beyond words. Every educator, every researcher, every human can benefit from encountering Dr. Joseph's voice and views.”

  • “I worked with Dr. Janelle Joseph and the IDEAS Research Lab on the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) Anti-Racism Project in 2020. Dr. Joseph and her team were incredibly professional while working with our organization throughout the planning, preparation, and execution of the project. For such a significant undertaking, it was immensely beneficial to have this partnership in place, ensuring everything from collection to review to presentation remained on track and our needs were met throughout. The OUA would highly recommend Dr. Janelle Joseph and the IDEAS Research Lab team.”

  • “Dr. Joseph’s guidance has been integral to the design of two of Jays Care Foundation’s most impactful programs which work to significantly reduce barriers to access to sport for children and youth who are most often marginalized. Her expansive knowledge, generous guidance, thoughtful probing and equity-focused suggestions have transformed both our design and our approach. Dr. Joseph is a valued advisor who inspires us to do better, to be better and to consistently reconsider entrenched patterns of thinking and doing.”
