Mon, April 25, 2:30 to 4:00pm PDT (2:30 to 4:00pm PDT), San Diego Convention Center, Exhibit Hall B

Abstract

The field of Comparative International Education trains new professionals every year who engage in work in diverse countries around the world, especially global South countries, influencing policy decisions. At the same time, the decolonization framework points out the epistemic dominance of the North. This study aims to introduce the framework of modernity/coloniality/decoloniality and within it, understand the profile diversity of the authors used in the training of Comparative International Education (CIE) professionals in the Global North. It presents a bibliometric analysis of the syllabi of the basic requirement course of the International Educational Development program at Teachers College for the academic year of 2019-2020, analyzing the presence of Global South authors.
