The Comparative and International Education Society (CIES), Inc., was founded in 1956 to foster cross-cultural understanding, scholarship, academic achievement and societal development through the international study of educational ideas, systems, and practices. The Society's members include some 1,200 academics, practitioners, and students from around the world. Their professional work is built on cross-disciplinary interests and expertise as historians, sociologists, economists, psychologists, anthropologists, and educators. The membership has increased global understanding and public awareness of education issues, and has informed both domestic and international education policy debate. The Society works in collaboration with other international and comparative education organizations to advance the field and its objectives (January 29, 2007, http://www.cies.us/aboutus.htm).
Within the CIES,
the New Scholars Committee was formed to promote the participation and
collegiality among new scholars in the Comparative and International
Education Society (CIES) through various creative programs and
activities. The main objectives are:
- To improve the
participation of new scholars in the Society.
- To inform
people about the Society's activities and objectives.
- To provide
access to information about the CIES, its members, and professional
research,
internship, and employment opportunities for new scholars in
the field.
- To encourage
contributions of new scholars to the Society.
- To facilitate
network opportunities among new scholars and practitioners in the field.
The
vision of current initiatives strives to accomplish the following:
- To provide
information for prospective students.
- To encourage
and help organize new scholar events at conferences as part of outreach.
- To establish a
lively exchange among new scholars via a new website.
- To encourage
members to also become involved in the work of the other CIES
committees.

CIES General Information
The Comparative and
International Education Society (CIES) was founded in 1956 to foster
cross-cultural understanding, scholarship, academic achievement and
societal development through the international study of educational
ideas, systems, and practices. The Society's members include some 1,200
academics, practitioners, and students from around the world. Their
professional work is built on cross-disciplinary interests and expertise
as historians, sociologists, economists, psychologists, anthropologists,
and educators. The Society also includes 1,300 institutional members,
primarily academic libraries and international organizations.
Over the last four decades, the activities of the Society's members have strengthened the theoretical basis of comparative studies and increasingly applied those understandings to policy and implementation issues in developing countries and cross-cultural settings. The membership has increased global understanding and public awareness of education issues, and has informed both domestic and international education policy debate. The Society works in collaboration with other international and comparative education organizations to advance the field and its objectives.
The principal Society vehicles for member activities are:
·
The Comparative Education Review—a
professional, refereed journal published quarterly (February, May,
August and November) by the University of Chicago Press
·
The CIES Newsletter—an information
document produced three times a year (January, May and September) by the
CIES Secretariat containing news updates, announcements, committee
reports and editorials
· The CIES Annual Conference—a gathering of Society members and interested public usually held in March of each year and which is devoted to scholarly and practical exchange, debate and networking
· Standing and Ad Hoc Committees—appointed and voluntary groups focused on promoting specific professional interests of the Society, strengthening its voice in policy and intellectual debate, liaising with counterpart organizations, and ensuring full and equal representation to its diverse membership.
As a registered non-profit [501(c)3] organization in the United States, the Comparative and International Education Society supports the activities of its members to:
· Promote understanding of the many roles that education plays in the shaping and perpetuation of cultures, the development of nations, and in influencing the lives of individuals
·
Improve opportunities for the citizens of
the world by fostering an understanding of how education policies and
programs enhance social and economic development
Increase cross-cultural and cross-national understanding through
educational processes and by the study and critique of educational
theories, policies and practices that affect individual and social well
being.
