FreshEd #139 -€“ Defining the Field of Comparative Education? (Angela Little)

How can we define comparative education? That question has long vexed scholars in the field. My guest today is Angela Little, who has spent her entire career in comparative education and has wrestled with this very question. Angela argues that it is best to define the field through shared action rather than agreed-upon definitions and talks about the challenges of being an academic-slash-practitioner. She also discusses the recent role that southern theory plays in the field of comparative education. Angela Little is Professor Emerita at the University College London, Institute of Education, University of London. https://freshedpodcast.com/angelalittle/ -- Get in touch!
