Research Summary
I have published seven books/edited volumes, 64 articles, 20 book chapters, 5 UNESCO reports, and 18 curricular and public access units locally and internationally in comparative and international education; education, conflict and peacebuilding; and critical approaches to education.
My research draws on the disciplines of sociology and philosophy of education, and I have interdisciplinary interests in global affairs and international justice/human rights, (post)qualitative inquiry, posthumanism/diffraction, posttruth, and decolonizing higher education. My research agenda is here.
