{"product_id":"super-dimensions-in-globalisation-and-david-r-cole-9789811003103","title":"Super Dimensions in Globalisation and Education","description":"This volume is the first major production of the globalisation research strand of the Centre for Educational Research at Western Sydney University. This book makes a significant contribution to the theory of and research in globalisation and education, and tackles the topics of superdiversity and supercomplexity. The book's thesis is that the effects of globalisation on education can only be understood if the specific yet complex conditions of globalisation in education are investigated. The book takes an international approach to understanding globalisation and does not restrict itself to just one methodological or theoretical plane of investigation.\u003cbr\u003eEducation is one of these frontline domains in which the effects of superdiversity cannot be dismissed, minimized or denied. The continuously increasing complexity of learning environments is raising critical issues at every level, from description over analysis to theoretical generalization, and this book is a first and fruitful attempt at charting these waters. \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis pioneering book will remain a key text for many years to come\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eJan Bloomaert\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessor of Language, Culture and Globalization and Director of the Babylon Center\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTilburg University, the Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis provocative collection works from two premises: that today there is superdiversity in our globalised world and related is a supercomplexity of theoretical and methodological approaches.
