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 RobertsonDirector of the Centre for Globalisation,
Education and Social Futures University 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.
