FreshEd #5 - Space in educational research (Marianne Larsen)

Today’s topic is space in educational research. My guest is Marianne Larsen, an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Education, University of Western Ontario. Dr. Larsen’s recent research focuses on the overall processes and effects of the internationalization of higher education. She has been researching how internationalization policies are taken up ‘on-the-ground’, as well as the role of higher education leaders in advancing internationalization agendas. Her most recent book, Internationalizing Higher Education: An Analysis through Spatial, Mobility and Network Theories, builds upon her work to advance the use of new spatial and mobilities theories in comparative education research. I spoke with Dr. Larsen in 2016 about how she and her colleague Jason Beech theorize the concept of educational space not as an object of study but as a set of relations between individuals and groups. http://www.freshedpodcast.com/marianne-larsen/
