Emergent Trends in Comparative Education

The Dialectic of the Global and the Local

Edited by Lauren Ila Misiaszek; Robert F. Arnove and Carlos Alberto Torres

Emergent Trends in Comparative Education: The Dialectic of the Global and the Local addresses the changes and multiple new topics that arise in education vis-à-vis processes of globalization and social transformation. As such, it complements and expands the scope of Comparative Education: The Dialectic of the Global and the Local, Fifth Edition. Chapters systematically examine the intersecting global crises in society and education occasioned by COVID-19, across types and levels of education, geographic and linguistic contexts, and fields of theory and practice. Topics addressed include the African ethic Ubuntu, Global Citizenship Education (GCE), UNESCO, STEM, teacher education, low-fee schools, social movements and protest, ecopedagogy, sustainability, media and technology, testing, and the economics of education. Furthermore, this book offers insight into how education systems can contribute to environmental social justice. Various authors employ a social justice lens to analyze the global-regional-local dialectics shaping the working of education systems with regard to who pays for and who benefits from current policy initiatives around the world.

Undergirded by the revolutionary thinking of De Sousa Santos and the World Social Forum, chapters in this volume move from Ubuntu through a rich diversity of theories from the Global South relating to teacher education, sustainability in education, STEM education for girls, social media, and many other arenas.


— Ruth Hayhoe, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto


With its specialized foci on emergent trends, the editors of this volume and their contributors actively and, in epistemological as well as probable programmatic terms, excellently engage the continually complicated and intersecting problematics as located and/or absented by the constructions of select educational platforms and outcomes around the world. By especially highlighting the expansively inequitizing effects of COVID-19, forwardly complemented by emerging and increasingly crucial areas such as Ubuntu philosophies and pedagogies, social movements, ecopedagogy, and sustainability education, this volume certainly achieves timely and much-needed boundary-extending knowledge and learning prospects and possibilities for inclusive human and overall ecological wellbeing.


— Ali A. Abdi, The University of British Columbia


This volume is a brilliantly conceived and timely contribution to the comparative and international education (CIE) literature. From Lauren Ila Misiaszek’s entitling of her introductory chapter, "Urgent Departures," and through the skillful blending of critical and postfoundational theories into a framework which shapes the compilation of chapters within, the reader is well prepared for the challenges the volume as a whole poses to those engaged in the CIE field. The comprehensive array of well-authored chapters that make up the collection offer insights and provocations of crucial importance to CIE going forward.


— Evelyn Coxon, University of Auckland—Waipapa Taumata Rau


This book is a timely and important edited monograph, especially at this challenging point in history, when we face urgent issues across our world, including tackling climate change; ending economic exclusion and poverty; and supporting educational access and inclusion for all. The book is a welcome edition in the series on Comparative Education, further advancing and advocating for creative and compelling scholarship in our thinking of education as a global movement for peace and social justice. The dialectic of the global and local has never been more manifest in the challenges we face across all educational jurisdictions and systems, especially as we now must tackle problems that imperil our shared planetary home. Thus, there is the attendant imperative for new forms of expansive, transformative scholarship, which can support us to bring together our many perspectives and synthesise our diverse experience and knowledge, in order that we might be equipped to design education to tackle the global challenges we face, now and into the future.
