Does the idea of ‘globalisation’ still have any relevance for understanding education in the 2020s?
Fazal Rizvi (University of Melbourne) talks about what education policy now looks like in light of the rise of Asia, alongside increased worldwide shifts toward nationalism, popularism, and anti-globalisation.
We also discuss the digitization of society, the significance of post-colonial theory, and how education research needs to retain hope for the future.

We hear regular reports of a ‘crisis’ in teacher recruitment and what has been characterised as an exodus of educators leaving the profession.
