Global knowledges and transnational education
Global knowledges and transnational education serves as the thematic umbrella for researchers exploring the impact of new technologies and internationalization on education, and the ways in which national and cultural borders effect the movements of people and knowledge.
The overarching research focus is on how increasingly globalized modern knowledge systems transform the social, economic and cultural conditions of life around the globe. The title 'Global knowledges and transnational education' highlights how these transformations work across and beyond national borders, as well as the boundaries that exist between different disciplines, institutions and ways of knowing, teaching and learning.
Global knowledge and transnational education research projects are linked by a common concern to investigate the transformation of knowledge production, education, dissemination through the media, communications technologies, university, and corporations linking these to flows of people, ideas and objects.
The research projects clustered under this thematic umbrella share this common thread and also reflect the diverse range of research interests which team members bring to their research from their different disciplines and orientations.
