Dr. Jane Kenway, Professorial Fellow of Australian Research Council and Professor of Faculty of Education of Monash University, Australia, gave a Educational Culture, Policy and Society (ECPS) Brown Bag Series lecture at the University at Buffalo on October 22, 2012. Dr. Kenway’s talk entitled Staying Ahead of the Game: Elite Schools’ Globalising Curriculum Practices addressed following questions by drawing on the first three years of field-work from a broad-based multi-national, multi-sited global ethnographic study of elite schools and globalisation (2010-2014):
- How are elite schools around the world responding to globalization?
- What globalizing practices are they adopting?
- How is globalization impacting on their educational, social and political purposes?
This larger study included nine schools from nine different countries in five regions of the world: Australia, Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, with all schools exhibiting linkages with the former British Empire.
This ECPS Brown Bag Series lecture was sponsored by the Center for Comparative and Global Studies in Education and the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy.
