Opis

This is a very important new book, bringing together the work of some of the world’s leading historians of education. Lively and provoking, this volume is a timely and most welcome addition to historical research on ‘transnationalism’, showing how ideas are communicated around the globe, and how gender impacts on the construction of those ideas. This book was originally published as a special issue of the History of Education.
