His work&nbsp;led to Canadian law reforms in 2005 concerning obtaining evidence from children. Since 2006, a legal procedure based on his research must be employed to admit children as witnesses in Canadian criminal courts.</p> <p>“Professor Lee’s research has made a broad impact across critical areas in education, and his exceptional scholarship, teaching, and mentoring of educational researchers are remarkable contributions to the field, to OISE, and to °µÍřTV,” said Professor&nbsp;<strong>Erica Walker</strong>, dean of OISE.</p> <p>“He is highly deserving of this Insight Award, a prestigious honour for an outstanding professor. On behalf of the OISE community, I wholeheartedly congratulate Professor Lee for this significant recognition from SSHRC.”</p> <h3><a href="https://www.oise.utoronto.ca/home/about/news/11-23-23-professor-kang-lee-receives-2023-sshrc-insight-award">Read the OISE story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">OISE</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Fri, 24 Nov 2023 12:31:45 +0000 rahul.kalvapalle 304623 at
