Philosophy & theory of education; Educational strategies & policy

Drawing on a post-foundational approach to Deleuze and Guattari’s seminal work on assemblage theory, this book explores the scholarly field of comparative and international education (CIE). Written by a diverse collection of international scholars from Australia, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the USA, the chapters use the assemblage paradigm as an analytical tool to examine the continuously evolving field of CIE. The theoretical chapters unpack assemblage theory and its core components, whilst others draw on examples and international case studies to show how assemblage theory could be applied to future CIE research. The field of CIE is prone to constant (re)configurations and this book casts the shaping of the field in a fresh light, prompting new discussions on the field’s variability and flexibility.

Reviews for Comparative and International Education (Re)Assembled: Examining a Scholarly Field through an Assemblage Theory Lens

"""This collection is an admirable display of the richness of assemblage thinking and assemblage theory for research in education. It uses assemblage theory to both reconceptualize the field of comparative international education research and advance its agenda across new terrains."" --Ian Buchanan, Professor of Cultural Studies, University of Wollongong, Australia ""In this ambitious edited volume, Salajan and jules assemble an impressive array of some of the most thought- and practice-provoking scholars in the field of comparative and international education, challenging the field to live with unstable and constantly deferred ideas of comparison, nationhood, and education. Now it's up to the field(s) to pick up the gauntlet."" --Daniel Friedrich, Associate Professor of Curriculum, Teachers College, Columbia University, USA ""This book makes a wonderful maneuver. By using assemblage theory, with its focus on flat ontology, complexity and relationality, to re-interpret comparative and international education it honors the fluid and dynamic contours of a field that is difficult to define and encapsulate. Leading and emerging scholars from very different locations contribute to a much-needed re-definition of the field."" --Jason Beech, Senior Lecturer in Education Policy, Monash University, Australia"
