Local/Global Issues in Education

Greg Thompson Murdoch University, Australia

Peter Renshaw The University of Queensland, Australia

This series investigates the interplay between the local and the global in
­contemporary education policy and practice. While globalisation is transform-
ing local education systems, the local cannot be conceived as homogeneous or
­passive. Local policy advocates, educators and researchers mediate globalisation
by adapting, resisting and amplifying its effects and influences. In this book series,
the local perspective taken is from Australia, whose geographical and cultural
­positioning provides a unique analytical lens through which processes of globali-
sation in education can be explored and understood. Published in association with
the Australian Association for Research in Education, this series includes high-­
quality empirical, theoretical and conceptual work that uses a range of qualitative
and quantitative methods to address contemporary challenges in education.
