She then joined the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Toronto, completing a MSc in 1977 and a PhD in 1985. Her PhD dissertation is entitled "The Origins of Residential Differentiation: Capitalist Industrialization in Toronto, Ontario, 1851-1881". During her graduate studies, Rahder worked as a research assistant and teaching assistant at the University of Toronto, as a part-time instructor in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute and as a part-time assistant professor in the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University.
