Chemonics is proud to participate in the 2018 Annual Conference of the Comparative and International Education Society, where our education experts will share lessons learned and innovations with others in global education.
From March 25 to 29, education and literacy experts from Chemonics will participate in the 2018 Annual Conference of the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) in Mexico City, Mexico. The event brings together more than 3,000 researchers, students, practitioners, and policymakers from around the world to discuss high-priority issues in this sector. In addition to sponsoring the conference, Chemonics hosts an exhibit table and presents in 10 sessions on a variety of topics — from book supply chains to early-grade reading in low-resource and conflict environments.
This year’s theme is “Re-Mapping Global Education: South-North Dialogue,” which explores the historic divisions that have often left the global south as the recipient of the education “expertise” of countries in the global north. With globalization on the rise, however, these divisions are being redrawn and the flow of knowledge exchange is being reconsidered. How can we, as part of the international development community, redirect global knowledge production and foster more effective education practices? Throughout the conference, participants explore these questions while networking, sharing case studies, and investigating new approaches.
