Global Education: Linking Theory and Practice

Group Submission Type: Book Launch

Description of Session

The two volumes here are part of a new Emerald book series – Education Research in Global Contexts. The first two volumes titled Global Education: Linking Theory and Practice emerged from the Global Education Colloquium speaker series at Drexel University. These volumes highlight the work of distinguished and emerging scholars and practitioners and their work on education research, policy and practice in relation to education access, equity and quality. They represent disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives including history, sociology, philosophy, psychology, economics, political science, public policy and anthropology. Contributions span from micro to macro levels of analysis, qualitative and quantitative research methods, and theoretical to applied orientations. What they have in common is a shared commitment to producing rigorous scholarship aimed at understanding educational institutions, educational processes and the social and cultural factors that affect them from a global perspective. The goal of this Colloquium, and these volumes, is to illuminate education – whether studied locally, globally or internationally – as shaped by, and with the potential to shape – social, political and economic change on a global scale. These volumes represent this important scholarship in a manner both timely and thematically linked. Each contributor’s chapter includes a link to the Global Education Colloquium archived talk related to their research. By linking the published chapter to the virtual talk, these volumes will be of use to academics looking for innovative teaching resources for their undergraduate and graduate courses. A concluding chapter offers teaching notes and strategies for including chapters and recorded presentations into a variety of teacher education courses. No other book series on global education is designed for use in university classrooms in this way.
