Mikko Kohvakka; Arto Nevala – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2024
Studies of global university rankings often assume that rankings as Anglo-American policy scripts have an increasing influence resulting in a convergence of policies and practices, or that the ideas of rankings continue to diverge into national types.

Petersson, Jöran; Sayers, Judy; Andrews, Paul – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2023

However, due to the need to reduce their content to equal numbers of units of analysis, they are rarely found in the analysis of textbooks. In this paper, we present two methods for overcoming this limitation, one through the use…

Cowen, Robert – Comparative Education, 2023
This article suggests that, as a field of study, we have accumulated too many routinised ways to legitimate our academic identity; that it is time to step away from comfortable clichés about our past; and to notice that the future is, at least metaphorically, now and urgent. However, while it is easy to illustrate the banalities we use to define…
