What Happened to Diversification in The Field of Comparative and International Education?

Abstract

As a field of research and practice, comparative and international education addresses many of the same issues, ideas, problems, and policies repeatedly in research articles, policies and policy briefs, and in the implementation of intra- and international projects and programs. But, in order to develop as a field, diversification of these issues, ideas, problems, and policies to address new or different priorities and contexts occurs as well. In comparative and international education, diversification since 2013 has been largely static. This brief chapter suggests that dynamic diversification is needed as well if scholarship in the field is to continue to mature and implementation or practice in the field is to further professionalize.
