In the World Library of Educationalists series, international
experts compile career-long collections of what they judge to be
their finest pieces - extracts from books, key articles, salient
research findings, major theoretical and practical contributions -
so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers
will be able to follow the themes and strands and see how their
work contributes to the development of the field. For more than
three decades, Gerard A. Postiglione has witnessed first-hand the
globalization of education and society in Hong Kong, China and the
wider Asian region. He is a pioneer among Western scholars in the
field and his fluency in Chinese has resulted in innovative primary
research and fieldwork. He has brought sociological, policy, and
comparative perspectives to important educational issues in Asia.
His research emphasizes the diversity and complexity of the region,
from studies of education and the academic profession during Hong
Kong's retrocession, to reform of ethnic minority education and the
rise of world class universities in the Chinese mainland, as well
as the complexity of mass higher education in an increasingly
dynamic Asia. He is one of the researchers most sought-after by
international organizations concerned with educational reform in
Asia and by major media outlets to inform the public on issues of
globalization and higher education. Gerard was honoured by the
Comparative and International Education Society with a Lifetime
Contribution Award and Best Book Award for his contribution to the
field. In 2016 he was inducted as a Fellow of the American
Educational Research Association. This selection of 12 of his most
representative papers and chapters documents his scholarship in
comparative higher education in Asia.
