Book launch - Comparative Education: A Field in Discussion
16 Nov 2022, 17:30 – 19:15
In this event, David will briefly introduce the book, and outline some of the main themes, most importantly that we each see the world through the filter of our own culture/language, and that, in any classification, intragroup variation is much greater than intergroup variation. This is of particular importance when grouping people according to their nationality, language or religion.
Following the themes set out by David, Qing Gu and Tejendra will respond before a wider discussion.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in philosophy of education, international education and comparative education.
