International development work in Canada is characterised by a division between the academic community and the practitioners who engage in policy development and implementation. This article documents this disconnect and describes the broader context for the remarkable growth in international development educational programmes. In the face of substantial cuts to Canada’s official overseas development assistance, the de-funding of important think tanks focusing on international development and the absorption of the former government agency for international development into the foreign affairs ministry, the gap between the study and practice of international development is even more notable. This article addresses the challenges of bridging this gap
