Conversations related to epistemology and methodology have been
present in comparative and international education (CIE) since the
field's inception. How CIE phenomena are studied, the questions
asked, the tools used, and ideas about knowledge and reality that
they reflect, shape the nature of the knowledge produced, the
valuing of that knowledge, and the implications for practice in
diverse societies. This book is part of a growing conversation in
which the ways that standardized practices in CIE research have
functioned to reproduce problematic hierarchies, silences and
exclusions of diverse peoples, societies, knowledges, and
realities. Argued is that there must be recognition and
understanding of the negative consequences of hegemonic
onto-epistemologies and methodologies in CIE, dominantly sourced in
European social science traditions, that continue to shape and
influence the design, implementation and dissemination/application
of CIE research knowledge. Yet, while critical reflection is
necessary, it alone is insufficient to realize the transformative
change called for: as students, researchers, practitioners and
policymakers, we must hear and heed calls for concrete action to
challenge, resist and transform the status quo in the field and
work to further realize a more ethical and inclusive CIE.
Interrogating and Innovating Comparative and International Research
presents a series of conceptual and empirically-based essays that
critically explore and problematize the dominance of Eurocentric
epistemological and methodological traditions in CIE research. As
an action-oriented volume, the contributions do not end with
critique, rather suggestions are made and orientations modelled
from different perspectives about the possibilities for change in
CIE. Contributors are: Emily Anderson, Supriya Baily, Gerardo L.
