About me


Terry Wotherspoon is Professor of Sociology at the University of Saskatchewan. He has a Ph.D. in Sociology from Simon Fraser University, along with degrees in Sociology (M.A. and B.A.) and Education (B.Ed.). Before beginning his academic career, which has included several years of service as Head of Sociology, he taught school at elementary and secondary levels. His research and publications focus on issues related to education, social policy, Indigenous-settler relations, and social inclusion, exclusion and inequality in Canada, supported with funding from SSHRC as well as other agencies and organizations, including Saskatchewan Learning, the Laidlaw Foundation, the Council of First Ministers of Education Canada, and the Prairie Centre of Excellence for Research on Immigration and Integration. His current research includes projects related to: schooling and processes of reconciliation in Canada; issues of social inclusion, exclusion, and diversity in settler colonial nation-states; the development of Sociology in North America and the UK during the 20th century; and the impact of education and labour market policies and practices on international migration. 

He has been recognized for his scholarly contributions to both Sociology (as recipient of the Outstanding Contribution Award from the Canadian Sociological Association in 2021) and Education (the Whitworth Award for Educational Research presented by the Canadian Education Association in 2002). He is also a recipient of Canadian Sociological Association awards for Outstanding Service (2018) and, with co-author Emily Milne of MacEwan University, the Canadian Review of Sociology Best Article Award (2021), as well as an award from the Canadian Association for Foundations of Education for an early edition of one of his books, The Sociology of Education in Canada: Critical Perspectives. He has been actively engaged in administrative roles for several scholarly and professional organizations, including terms as President of the Canadian Sociological Association, Managing Editor of the Canadian Review of Sociology, roles as chair and member of the Board of Governors of the Prairie Metropolis Centre (for immigration and integration research), and membership on the Executive Committee and Board of Governors of Immigration Research West. He has held appointments as Adjunct Professor at Xi’an Jiaotong University, and Visiting Professor at Lanzhou University, Northwest University for Nationalities, and Huazhong Agricultural University, all in China.
