Global Education: Linking Theory and Practice
Global Education: Linking Theory and Practice highlights 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.
Kristy Kelly’s Global Education: Linking Theory and Practice links each chapter to Drexel University’s Global Education Colloquium. The goal of the Colloquium, and this collection, 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.
A concluding chapter offers teaching notes and strategies for incorporating the chapters and Global Education Colloquium into teacher education courses. No other book on global education is designed for use in university classrooms in this way.
