Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The conceptualisation of the notions of ‘policy borrowing’, ‘educational transfer’ and ‘cultural transfer’ brought about a critical shift in the way the formation of national, or regional educational systems has been conceived. In fact, this led to a silent evolution in the practice of comparing, since it was no longer a question of drawing parallels between presumably closed spaces, but of acknowledging mediation the role of a nation or a province (school authorities, philanthropists, teachers, missionaries, educators, travelers, etc.) in contributing to education and even identity-building of the other. Respectively, the in-depth studies of political, religious, economic or cultural contexts have become increasingly important and necessary. The aim of this seminar is to discuss the contributions, limits and recent investigations developped in the field of Transferred Education.
