Edited Volume
The volume presents international perspectives on transnationality, schools and teacher education. The aim of the volume is to critically discuss the appropriateness of the restriction to the national orientation of schools and teacher education in the face of increasing migration and transnationality. The contributions to the volume provide ideas from international teacher education research as well as from school pedagogical practice in different national contexts namely Austria, Canada, Chile, Greece, Israel, Japan, Switzerland, Turkey, UK or USA. They all have in common that they are concerned with the question of which empirical and theoretical approaches are suitable to describe the phenomena of pedagogical-professional dealing with migration-related and transnational demands on the school found in the field of school and teacher education. The focus is not primarily on migrants and their migration paths, actions or attitudes, but on the global contexts of reference and interconnections - embedded in their specific national and global social power and hierarchical relationships - as well as the country-specific and cross-country structural and contextual conditions of schools and teacher education. These affect all school actors.
The edited volume is available as a pre-print publication online open access, funded by Stiftung Mercator. In December 2021 the edited volume was also published by Springer VS as a ebook and print version. Please cite as:

As part of her research semester, Yasemin Karakaşoğlu accepted the invitation of our cooperation partners Prof. Dr. Akiko Ito and Prof. Dr. Hitoshi Sato from the University of Fukuoka and presented the Bremen model to the members of her research group on the “Importance of diversity in teacher education in international comparison”. The hybrid event, which was attended by colleagues from the USA, New Zealand and Sweden, led to a lively exchange about the different national attributions of meaning to diversity and inclusion. The colleagues are planning a return visit to Bremen in 2025 to further develop a joint research project.You can find the announcement of the lecture HERE
