Globalisation, Education and Work Research Group
Interdisciplinary research into teaching, learning and leadership practices that help advance sustainable, civilized and just societies.
About the group
Globalisation, Education and Work Faculty Research Group (GEW FRG) provides a platform for research on globalisation, education and work to enhance learning, teaching, and leadership that advance sustainable civilized and just societies, and build individuals' and communities' capacities for work and democratic politics.
We are an interdisciplinary research group. Our research conversations are informed by disciplinary traditions and fields of research that include sociology, economics, praxis and ethics.
Our interdisciplinary investigations track reform agenda that travel globally, and document change and continuities in education, and work within and between nation-states.
Research at the national scale examines reconfigurations of national education systems that reorganize educational work. Studies of internationalization at global and international scales examine what travels between nations and the implications for internationalizing policy, curriculum, pedagogies, students and staff. Both these lines of inquiry inform our analysis of transnational knowledge building and its challenges and consequences for research on tertiary education, professional education and educational work in diverse learning spaces and workplaces.
