Call for Submissions for SIG Panels at CIES 2011 Annual Conference

CIES Annual Conference 2012
Globalization and Education SIG

Call for Paper Proposals

The 56th Annual Meeting of the Comparative and International Education Society will be held from Sunday, April 22, to Friday, April 27 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The Globalization and Education SIG will be hosting a number of panel sessions, as well as the Globalization and Education SIG Invited Lecture.  The SIG also offers a prize for the best paper by an early career researcher (a student or a scholar who has received his or her doctorate within the past 5 years).

The SIG invites papers that engage with questions related to globalization and education broadly considered.  We are particularly interested in papers that engage with the methodological issues that emerge in researching globalization, as well as submissions related to theoretical developments in globalization research.  Additional topics of interest include globalization and higher education; how to theorize diffusion and translation; globalization and its impact on the method of comparison as well as on the politics of comparison; issues connected with scale and spatial reach; global educational governance; education and global social justice; and, global aid trends and education. The SIG also welcomes papers and presentations that deal with teaching about globalization and education.

(a) objectives or purposes
(b) perspective or theoretical framework
(c)  methods, techniques, or modes of inquiry
(d) data sources, evidenceframework
(e)  results and/or conclusions
(f)  significance of the study to the field of comparative and international education

G&E SIG Panels at CIES 2009		TEACHING ABOUT GLOBALIZATION COURSE SYLLABUS PROJECT
[ under construction]		At the 2007 CIES annual meeting in Baltimore the Globalization and Education SIG held a panel titled "Teaching about Globalization", convened by Sandra Staklis (Stanford University) and Noah W. Sobe (Loyola University Chicago).    Alongside interest in globalization as a concern of research and scholarship, there seems to be increasing interest in teaching about globalization in schools of education, both at the graduate and undergraduate level.  In the panel in Baltimore we strove to feature a range of pedagogic and curricular approaches being used to present and organize globalization – not only in courses specifically on comparative and international education, but also in general foundations courses as well as in teacher prep courses.    Syllabi discussed at that panel are available for download here and we invite others to send the SIG chairperson syllabi and/or reflective writings on teaching about globalization to also be posted on this website.   Globalization in an Undergraduate Course on Comparative Education José Cossa (Colgate University)   Globalization in an Undergraduate Course on Education and International Development Irving Epstein (Illinois Wesleyan University)   Globalization in a Graduate Course on Comparative Education Sandra Staklis (Stanford University)   Globalization in a Graduate Seminar on Comparative Higher Education Bernhard Streitwieser (Northwestern University)   Graduate Seminar on Education and Globalization Noah W.
