Faculty Member, Education

Lecturer in Comparative Higher Education

About

The areas of my academic enquiries have always centred around global and intercultural issues. I am a specialist in comparative higher education with an interdisciplinary research background and special research interest in the inter- and trans-national relations of: academic mobility/migration, knowledge production, identity formation, citizenship, and interculturality.

I am a full-time Lecturer (with a permanent contract) in the Social Sciences Research Group, School of Sport and Education at Brunel University in West London. Given my higher education research networks,

I am also affiliated to three other universities’ research activities, as an Associate of (i) the Centre for Higher Education Research and Information (CHERI) in the Open University; (ii) the Centre for Higher Education Studies (CHES) in the Institute of Education, University of London; and I am a Visiting Fellow of (iii) the Centre for Academic Practice and Research on Internationalisation (CAPRI), Leeds Metropolitan University.

Previously, I was a Visiting Scholar at the I.E.C., Collège de France in Paris, and the London School of Economics (LSE), Department of International Relations. I worked as a Brain Korea 21 Contract Professor at Seoul National University, and I was also an OECD/CERI Consultant, invited to write a position paper on the Globalisation of Higher Education.

Currently I am the Book Review Editor (UK) and an editorial board member of: the International Studies in Sociology of Education. I am also on the Editorial Boards of Gender and Education; and Intercultural Education.
