Organiser

Kester Muller

In this seminar, Susan will show how the coordination of education futures through anticipatory practices is mediated by the differences between UNESCO and the OECD: histories, missions, resources and geo-political alliances; use of different anticipatory practices; and ongoing tensions between the two organisations.


This online event will be particularly useful for researchers and those with an interest in educational policy making.
