Dear all! The purpose of the GERIF-network is to bring together researchers working with global education in Finland. Because the coordinating group does not especially know about you many people who have subscribed to the mailing list, we have made a short survey to be able to communicate to you better. In addition, the survey provides you possibilities to contribute to the network if you want so. The survey is very short (only 5 questions) and it shouldn't last more than few minutes to fill it. We hope everyone in this list will! https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=r0Rp-nzM2EyRVMARMnmJEOl… On behalf of the GERIF network, Antti Kylänpää Chair of the coordinating group

Prior to his current appointment, he was at the University of New England in Australia for 11 years. He has been researching OECD and PISA for more than a decade. More about this series: Over the last 20 years, the influence of international large-scale assessments (ILSAs) has grown dramatically, particularly with the rise of the OECD’s PISA, and the establishment of ILSA techniques and comparisons as a global policy force aiming to put an end to ‘learning poverty’. But COVID-19 has upended everything, including the ways that we view the future of education. What is the relevance of international comparisons in a post-COVID world? How are pandemic conditions affecting confidence in the predictive power of statistical data and the practical work and organisation of ILSAs in future assessment rounds? Is thinking and planning at a global scale feasible or desirable? How useful do international comparative measures look when set alongside the local contexts and geographies that are reasserting themselves: economic inequalities, social divisions and local educational practices that interact with pandemic effects? In this webinar series, the Laboratory of International Assessment Studies<http://international-assessments.org/>, together with Deakin University’s strategic research centre Research for Educational Impact (REDI<http://deakin.edu.au/redi>) and Manchester Metropolitan University’s Education and Social Research Institute (ESRI<https://www.mmu.ac.uk/esri/>), engages in conversations with leading experts in the field to explore these and other questions in a series of discussions about how international assessments may change as a result of pandemic conditions and priorities.

Fw: Policy and Practice Issue 31 has been published
by Heidi Henriksson 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

________________________________ From: Stephen McCloskey <stephen(a)centreforglobaleducation.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2020 7:39 PM Subject: Policy and Practice Issue 31 has been published [cid:image001.jpg@01D6A185.4AD4F140] Hello everyone, Please find below Issue 31 of the Centre for Global Education’s bi-annual, open access, peer reviewed, development education journal Policy and Practice: A Development Education Review<https://www.developmenteducationreview.com/>. The theme of Issue 31 is ‘The Policy Environment for Development Education’ and the Guest Editor, Liam Wegimont, Executive Director of Global Education Network Europe (GENE), finds grounds for optimism for development education policy – the future of which is unwritten - despite the challenging context in which it is currently being practiced. Liam highlights several positive policy initiatives at European Union level, including a growing number of national global education strategies within EU member states. At OECD level, he cites the ‘increasing influence of PISA’ and other ‘policy-focused research initiatives of the Education Directorate of the OECD’. And at a UN level, he finds encouragement in the good practice in global education supported by UNESCO, the SDGs and Bridge 47. I thank Liam for his editorial and longstanding support of the journal. This special issue of the journal marks our 15th year in publication and has been launched in partnership with our sister development education journals, Sinergias in Portugal, ZEP in Germany and the International Journal on Development Education and Global Learning in England. I extend sincere thanks to Orla Mc Breen, Director, Civil Society and Development Education Unit, in Irish Aid for writing the Foreword to this special issue. Policy and Practice would simply not have the audience and platform that it enjoys today where it not for Irish Aid’s sustained support. I thank all of the contributors to, and readers of, the journal since our launch in 2005 and particularly commend all of the members of the journal’s Editorial Board and International Editorial Board who contribute enormous energy to each new issue. I hope you will share the journal with colleagues and friends on social media. Please ‘like’ the journal’s facebook page at facebook.com/policyandpractice<https://www.facebook.com/policyandpractice> and feel free to leave comments on articles.

Transnationalism is defined<https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/transnational-perspectives-on-democracy-citiz…> as “a set of processes relating to social, economic and political connections between people, places and institutions, across national borders, potentially spanning the world”. The breadth of this theme enables the journal to focus on issues that have dominated global relations in 2020 including: globalisation, health, racism, education and migration. The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded us, probably like no other issue before it, of our interconnectedness and interdependence with the wider world. As Oxfam<https://reliefweb.int/report/world/no-one-safe-coronavirus-until-everyone-o…> put it: ‘no-one is safe from coronavirus until everyone is’ which highlights how globalization has increasingly integrated us economically and, at the same time, made us more vulnerable to global recessions and invisible viruses. Transnationalism also affords us an opportunity to explore how we are bound by shared histories and social movements. The Black Lives Matter protests in the United States following the killing of George Floyd have resonated across the world. The removal of statues and monuments dedicated to figures linked to slavery and racism, and the resistance to this, reminds us that racism is steeped in our history and, regrettably, very much part of our present. Issue 32 enables authors to discuss how development education should contribute to this discussion and how the question of racism should be tackled through education policy and practice. The question of economic justice is also central to transnationalism. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we discovered just how dependent we all are on frontline workers in a range of occupations – health, retail, social care, public transport – and how precarious and poorly remunerated these workers are. How can we ensure that frontline jobs are not ruthlessly discarded in the economic slowdown that will assuredly follow the pandemic? How can migrant workers be protected when forced to operate in informal settings without employment rights and protections? More positively, how can we capture and preserve the best aspects of the community response to COVID-19 and mobilise government resources in a similar fashion to address the climate emergency? Contributors could consider, through empirical work or theoretical discussion the following: * The human and environmental impact of transnational capital and corporations locally and globally. Has DE critically interrogated the role of TNCs in society? * The contrasting government responses to COVID-19 and what they told us about the role of the state in a pandemic and the need for public health? * How do we deolonise global health and upend traditional research hierarchies which are often dominated by the global North? How can health research be re-oriented toward local social goals? How can medical and global health curricula be imbued with DE values and goals? * The role of Big Pharma in pricing medicines beyond the reach of the poor and how can it be challenged. * The role of DE in supporting learning on health from the global South. For example, Cuba’s widely praised health service and emergency medical response brigades? The success of many African states in combatting SARS, Ebola and COVID-19. * How can DE challenge the ‘othering’ of migrants and value their contribution to societies across the world, for example, through remittances? * The role of DE programmes in challenging racism locally and internationally. Authors interested in submitting an article to Issue 32 should send a 300-word abstract to journal editor, Stephen McCloskey, by Friday, 23 October 2020. Please email: stephen(a)centreforglobaleducation.com<mailto:stephen@centreforglobaleducation.com>. The submission date for commissioned articles is Friday, 4 December 2020. Article Types There are four kinds of article published in Policy and Practice. Focus<http://www.developmenteducationreview.com/sites/default/files/jennas_pics/F…> articles are peer reviewed, between 3,500 and 6,000 words, and should have a strong critical analysis of their topic. The second is a Perspectives<http://www.developmenteducationreview.com/sites/default/files/jennas_pics/P…> article which is 2,000 – 4,000 words in length and is normally more descriptive, addressing an aspect of practice. Viewpoint<http://www.developmenteducationreview.com/sites/default/files/jennas_pics/V…> articles are designed to provoke debate a given topic and more subjective in the presentation of their argument. Resource<http://www.developmenteducationreview.com/sites/default/files/jennas_pics/R…> review articles are 1,000-2,000 words in length and offer an opinion of a new book, film, teaching resource or online site on development issues.

How does education relate to wider social factors and forces? How does local education intertwine with global trends? Which role(s) can education play to mitigate the worldwide challenges that we currently face? If you have ever asked similar questions… If your research looks for answers to these sorts of questions, adopts a comparative approach, relies on cross-cultural analysis, and examines the research object from an international perspective… If you are a critical thinker and have an innovative mind concerning local and global issues… Or if you are just curious about comparative and international education… You are all welcome to join our Comparative and International Education Seminar! This seminar focuses on Comparative and International Education from different perspectives. It covers a variety of theories and research designs, focusing on the comparative and international components of distinct research materials. Our main goals are to engage students with current debates in the field of Comparative and International Education, to encourage them to participate in scientific/academic discussions and argue about their research choices, and to critically evaluate their peers’ and their own research in the light of Comparative and International Education methodological and theoretical approaches. We will promote interaction and collaboration with peers, good practices of giving and receiving feedback, and reflection. Participants are encouraged to design the meetings, suggest reading materials and define the working methods. In addition to the existing literature, we will discuss participants’ own texts during the seminars. The seminar will organize guest lectures and workshops with participants, emphasizing different expertise, promoting circulation of knowledge and opportunities for networking. We will have meetings via Zoom every other Tuesday from 10:00 to 12:00. Our first meeting will be on 27.10.2020. Next meetings in 2020 are on 3.11, 17.11, and 1.12. We will continue the seminar in 2021, with scheduled sessions on 19.1, 2.2, 16.2, 2.3, 16.3, 30.3, 13.4, 27.4, and 4.5. Students will be assessed based on their active participation in the seminar and will receive 5 credits upon completion. Please contact Helena Hinke Dobrochinski Candido (helena.candido(a)helsinki.fi<mailto:helena.candido@helsinki.fi>) by 20.10.2020 if you are interested to join the Research Seminar in Comparative and International Education. The registration to the seminar is now open until 19.10.2020. Go to registration: https://weboodi.helsinki.fi/hy/opettaptied.jsp?OpetTap=137420107&html=0 Best regards, Helena H. D.
