Global Horizons - The Australian International Education PodcastBetty Leask - A Most Unlikely International EducatorWhen I sat down to chat with industry legend, Dr Betty Leask, I wasn't expecting the first thing for her to say that she really shouldn't have ended up in international education at all.
Wait, sorry, what?
But as the conversation unfolded, it turned out to be quite true: Betty's really is a most unlikely international educator!
Which seems a strange thing to say about the editor of the Journal of Studies in International Education, chair of the Council on Australia-Latin America Relations (COALAR...

Asian Education PodcastSeason 1 Episode 9
In this episode, Edward Vickers talks to Professor Fazal Rizvi of the University of Melbourne about his recent involvement in recent education reform initiatives in the Kingdom of Bhutan. Famous internationally for its espousal of the ‘Gross Happiness Index’ in place of the conventional notion of GDP, Bhutan is otherwise relatively little understood or researched by outsiders (in part due to stringent controls on access for tourism or leisure travel). But in 2021, Professor Rizvi was invited by counterparts in Bhutan to advise or consult on reforms being pursued by the government there. In this interview, he reflects on his expe...

Meet The Education ResearcherReimagining Globalisation & Education (Fazal Rizvi)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.

FreshEdFreshEd #69 – Elite Schools in Globalizing Circumstances (Debbie Epstein)Have you ever visited schools like Eton College in the United Kingdom, St. Albans in the United States, or Geelong Grammar School in Australia? Maybe you were among the lucky few to have attended one. These schools are primarily reserved for children from the most privileged families, members of the 1 percent, as we would say today. The schools are steeped in tradition, covered in oak and ivy, and cost a small fortune to attend. The fees at St. Albans, for instance, run as high as $58,000 USD. For that price, it’s no wonder that these schools offer some of the be...
