Session One: Theorizing globalization for comparative education research
Globalization has a complex ancestry derived from a theoretical soup that has
allowed it to be quantified, qualified, and benchmarked across space and time.
However, rather than reflecting a settlement or consensus within our field, many
questions present themselves: How could we conceptually reimage globalization?
Within a reimaged globalized world who would be the actors, who benefits and what
is the role of education? This session will attempt to re-conceptualize
globalization and capture the complexity of its promises, dangers and
ambivalences. Proposals are invited from CIES members engaged in theoretical work
aimed at reimagining globalization and its relation to education, as well as
those attempting to understand global processes via new and pioneering
methodological approaches to comparing educational phenomena across contexts.
Session Two: Globalization in 'out of the way' places
Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reconfiguration of the
global economy, globalization as phenomena and process has taken root in the most
unlikely of settings. Perhaps the most overused lexical term in social science,
globalization has reached new actors and voices that are championing,
challenging, and redefining the processes of economic, political, and cultural
integration. At the nexus of the local, the regional and the global,
globalization as a lived phenomenon has created new spheres that have redefined
and reinvigorated the old while engendering new ways of thinking. Within the
milieu, CIES members are invited to submit a proposal on ‘globalization in out of
the way places’ that seeks to understand how globalization functions in a diverse
array of fields.

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.
