About the moderator
Dr. Dianne Gereluk, MA’99 (she/her)
Dean and professor, Werklund School of Education
A former teacher with the Edmonton Public School Board, Dr. Dianne Gereluk served as associate dean of undergraduate programs at Werklund from 2013 to 2018 before becoming dean. Her research examines educational policy and practice related to politically contested and controversial issues in education. Examining the role educators play in fostering robust political deliberation in an increasingly polarized civil society is a primary interest. In her current role, Dr. Gereluk has renewed the Werklund School’s commitment to child well-being.
