Global Research Insights: Voices from across the Globe
The Centre for International Education is delighted to announce the launch of its publication Global Research Insights: Voices from across the Globe. The edited collection brings together a number of essays that offer important research insights into pressing concerns about education and development across a wide range of national contexts.
Importantly, the collection brings new voices into global conversations about the inadequacies of education policy and practice, in ways that mainstream development research does not do.
These essays were initially developed as dissertation research studies from the cohorts of the MA in International Education and Development programme led by faculty from the Centre for International Education. Each essay in the collection has been informed by theoretical explorations that draw on the intersecting fields of coloniality, gender, power, inequality, conflict, displacement and critical pedagogy, among other themes relevant to education and development.
The carefully crafted contributions reflect diverse perspectives and contexts, underscoring the value of small-scale research that is often overlooked in mainstream discourse. While these studies may not draw on large population samples, they offer rich, mostly qualitative insights that illuminate lived experiences, challenge prevailing assumptions, and provide foundations upon which future scholarship can build.

- Foreword
Building on a strong foundation laid by the first volume, this edition of Global Research Insights continues the commitment to bringing new voices from across the globe into conversations on international education and development.
This publication is shaped by a recognition that many of the challenges in education and development are often understood through limited and sometimes distant frameworks, which do not fully capture the realities of specific contexts. This volume brings together research that engages directly with these challenges from within the settings in which they are experienced, offering perspectives that remain underrepresented in dominant academic and policy discussions. In doing so, it seeks not only to broaden how educational realities are examined but also reaffirms our shared commitment to knowledge production that is grounded, contextualised, locally situated, and critically engaged.
The 18 contributions included in this volume have been developed from distinction-level work of the 2024/2025 MA in International Education and Development cohort led by faculty from the Centre for International Education at the 国产内射. The essays engage with a range of interconnected concerns which span interrogations of coloniality, gender, race and difference; conflict, migration and displacement; critical higher education and pedagogies; and planetary justice. While the essays are situated in diverse contexts, there is a strong presence of theoretical and methodological explorations emerging from the Global South. Each essay is connected by a sustained substantive engagement with the intersections of knowledge, power, and society. These concerns are worked through in specific settings, informed and enriched by the methodological approaches and distinct positionalities of the researchers themselves.
What distinguishes this collection is not scale, but proximity. The contributions are closely engaged with the contexts they examine, allowing for forms of insight that are often overlooked in broader analyses. Rather than seeking generalisation, as in the dominant development discourses, they attend to lived experiences and specific conditions through which educational realities are shaped and governed. This attention to context does more than add nuance. It exposes gaps in how education is often represented in policy and research and brings into view perspectives that might otherwise remain obscured. In this way, the contributions offer not only insight, but a different way of approaching knowledge production.
Taken together, this collection offers fresh perspectives, voices and insights on pressing global concerns in education and development which call for local action. By foregrounding these voices, we open up a space that encourages more attentive ways of understanding diverse educational contexts. We invite our readers, whether scholars, practitioners or policymakers, to engage with the substantive concerns raised in this publication and deepen their understanding of the issues that continue to shape education and development.
We thank all our contributors for sharing their research in this publication and acknowledge the contributions made by Dr Namse Udosen, Prof Máiréad Dunne, Prof Barbara Crossouard and Dr Silvio Fanzon in supporting us with this volume. We hope you enjoy reading it!
