New Directions in Comparative and International Education aims to extend the traditional discourse within the field of comparative and international education by providing a forum for creative experimentation and exploration of alternative perspectives. As such, the series welcomes scholarly work focusing on themes that have been under-researched and under-theorized in the field but whose importance is easily discernible. It supports works which theoretical grounding is centered in knowledge traditions that come from the Global South, encouraging those who work from intellectual horizons alternative to the dominant discourse. The series takes an innovative approach to challenging the dominant traditions and orientations of the field, encouraging interdisciplinarity, methodological experimentation, and engagement with relevant leading theorists.
We welcome proposals for new books in the series

The Specialisation and the International Course
Epistemologies of the South
This training course (a series of seminars) aims to articulate the knowledge and experience produced in the South, to contribute to a sharing and discussion of emancipating alternatives to the current neoliberal crisis. The course will focus on the study and analysis of the specific struggles and their institutional impacts in different contexts. The Specialisation and the International Course combine sociological, anthropological, philosophical, decolonial and emancipatory political perspectives to address various fields of anticolonial knowledge related to other knowledges and alternative experiences that build and strengthen social movements of diverse nature towards Buen Vivir (Good Living), be them decolonial, anti-racist, feminist, environmentalist, First Peoples, or on sexual dissidence. Stemming from an ecology of knowledges and a cultural translation of Human Rights, the approaches proposed are based on Epistemologies of the South, seeking to contribute towards the affirmation of human rights and the strengthening of the participation of societies of the different souths that are part of the Global South.
