This volume is the first major production of the globalisation
research strand of the Centre for Educational Research at Western
Sydney University. This book makes a significant contribution to
the theory of and research in globalisation and education, and
tackles the topics of superdiversity and supercomplexity. The
book's thesis is that the effects of globalisation on education can
only be understood if the specific yet complex conditions of
globalisation in education are investigated. The book takes an
international approach to understanding globalisation and does not
restrict itself to just one methodological or theoretical plane of
investigation. Education is one of these frontline domains in which
the effects of superdiversity cannot be dismissed, minimized or
denied. The continuously increasing complexity of learning
environments is raising critical issues at every level, from
description over analysis to theoretical generalization, and this
book is a first and fruitful attempt at charting these waters. This
pioneering book will remain a key text for many years to come. Jan
Bloomaert Professor of Language, Culture and Globalization and
Director of the Babylon Center Tilburg University, the Netherlands.
This provocative collection works from two premises: that today
there is superdiversity in our globalised world and related is a
supercomplexity of theoretical and methodological approaches. The
collection proffers multifarious challenges for educational theory,
research and practice in working with, through and across these two
premises. As such, Super Dimensions in Globalisation and Education
is essential reading for all educational researchers, whatever
their interests or location. Professor Bob Lingard The University
of Queensland, Australia. This is a highly imaginative book that
stops 'flat earth' and convergence arguments dead in their tracks.
Its genius is to bring super-complexity and super-diversity into a
conversation with each other and with education, and in doing so
shed light on the numerous and unexpected ways in which global
processes are shaping education in revealing and compelling ways.
Any scholar concerned with globalisation and education will find
Super Dimensions in Globalisation and Education a' must have' on
their reading list. Professor Susan Robertson Director of the
Centre for Globalisation, Education and Social FuturesUniversity of
Bristol, UK. This is an absorbing and compelling collection. It
takes readers on a kaleidoscopic journey through various intricate
expressions of the nexus between globalisation and education. And
it offers multiple ways that such expressions can be thought and
rethought. In transcending conventional categorisations it invites
educators to do so too. Professor Jane Kenway, Australian
Professorial Fellow - Australian Research Council, Education
Faculty, Monash University, Australia.
