This course will introduce students to the field of global, international and comparative education. Students explore the ways in which education is shaped by the interaction of local, national, and global factors. The course provides a common theoretical and substantive base that will enable students to understand the historical, conceptual, and methodological challenges in global international education. Students develop a critical understanding of dominant and alternative paradigms and how they translate into educational policy and practice in communities, schools, and classrooms across the globe. Each week, we explore a substantive area as well as a theoretical perspective often utilized in global international education research.
