Brendan Munhall: I am interested in the experience of newly-arrived and immigrant groups within their host country’s education system. In particular my research will explore school choice in Sweden and the challenges to providing an equitable experience for all participants.
I graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Economics from McMaster University before gaining a Masters of Science in Education from Medaille University. After teaching at the primary level for a number of years in Canada, Ecuador and Sweden, I completed a Master's in International and Comparative Education at Stockholm University.
