B.A. (Reed College), M.A., Ph.D. (Concordia)
Eva Bures has been an assistant professor at Bishop's since the fall of 2004 when she completed her dissertation work. She is also a faculty member of the Centre for the Study of Learning and Performance (CSLP), a research centre located in Montreal. She studied French literature as an undergraduate, earning a BA from Reed College (Portland, Oregon), and then studied educational technology at Concordia University, receiving her PhD in 2005. Her main interest is how to support innovative learning processes through computer-mediated communication ('talking via computers'), especially in small groups. In particular, she explores how to improve the quality of online dialogue and critical thinking, following a Vygotskian perspective. A true action researcher, this interest permeates her research and also her teaching, as her students who have become used to playing HipBone Games (and engaging in other unusual online activities) can attest to! She is currently working on a SSHRC-funded research project exploring how to improve the design of online systems to improve the quality of dialogue amongst university-level students. This project is in collaboration with Dr. Andrew Feenberg at Simon Fraser University and Dr. Philip Abrami at Concordia. She is also working on a project exploring how to assess electronic porfolios in K-8 in collaboration with Dr. Abrami and a team of researchers at the CSLP.

B.A., M.A. (Concordia), Ph.D. (McGill)
Christopher Darius Stonebanks (PhD) has been working in diverse educational settings - from day-care, elementary school, high school, CEGEP (college) and universities - since 1991. In that time he has worked in contexts ranging from the inner-city schools of Montreal to the rural communities of the James Bay Cree. His pedagogical and academic goals are rooted in connecting theory with practice, mindfulness of the diversities among learners, and accountability for the content that we investigate in classrooms. Asking the "why" questions about what we do in schools, and how it affects student knowledge and sense of self, is what drives his teaching and research interests. It is also the dominant theme in his written publications. Applying methods of critical and cultural pedagogy, he looks at developing strategies that encourage teachers to use classrooms as locations for social transformation, student empowerment and social justice. He believes that teachers seeing themselves as researchers will ultimately lead to a better understanding of the diverse ways of knowing found in today's society. Dr. Stonebanks has been invited to speak at a number of academic settings on topics including qualitative research, media, multiculturalism and critical pedagogy. In 2007, he was named to the Scholars Advisory Board for McGill University's Paulo and Nita Freire International Project for Critical Pedagogy.

Dr. Lisa Taylor is Assistant Professor in the School of Education since July 2004. She received her Honours BA, MA and PhD from OISE/UT at the University of Toronto and brings over 20 years' experience teaching in contexts as diverse as UBC and OISE/UT, one of the four 'key' universities in China, the Toronto and Vancouver school boards, a Vietnamese refugee detention centre in Hong Kong, and a bilingual curriculum development project with indigenous Mapuche teachers in Chile.

Dr. Taylor has been involved in three SSHRC-funded research projects: one bringing together researchers from five Canadian universities and private and public sector organizations, focusing on multiliteracies and the design of learning environments for knowledge generation within the new economy; the other, in collaboration with Michael Hoechsmann, McGill University, a national survey of the impact of multicultural curriculum reform on Canadian youth’s ‘multicultural literacy’.
