Bio/Research
Professor's Golden's research and writing over the past 35 plus years have been on equity policy development and process implementation and on curricular innovation, for university and community groups. In the late 1970's she held a Visiting Research Fellowship at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad which began her leadership in the development of Caribbean Studies at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson). She was the first Director of the Caribbean Research Centre in 2003-04. In the 1980's she wrote employment and educational equity policies for Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations, the Ryerson Faculty Association and Toronto Metropolitan University Administration. In the 1990's she received several research grants from the Ministries of Colleges and Universities and of Education and Training for the development of Violence Prevention Programmes and Sexual harassment prevention on University campuses, and from the Ministry of Health for an Ontario Community Workplace Safety Programme. In the late 1990's and early 21st century she received funding from Heritage Canada and Toronto Metropolitan University to research resources for teaching Black History in the public school system and for research on mixed race identity. Today her focus has moved internationally to community engagement and education projects in the Bahamas and in Kenya, including disability rights, the education of the girl child and new solar technologiesfor development. While she continues to produce written materials for communities, she has shifted to film and social media dissemination of educational and research information.
