Biographical history
James Robbins Kidd (1915-1982), educator and author, was born in Canada and educated at Sir George Williams University, McGill and Columbia University where he obtained the PhD. Kidd served as associate director and later as director of the Canadian Association for Adult Education (1947-1961). For a time in the 1960s he worked as secretary-treasurer of the Social Science Council and the Humanities Research Council before becoming the head of the Adult Education Department at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto (1966-1972). He became the chair of the Canadian Studies Department at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) and was instrumental in bringing Canadian studies to the public school system in Ontario. Kidd's interest in adult education made him an early proponent of the need for adult higher education in the province and this led to his membership on the Organizing Committee of York University in 1958.
