This provocativecollection works from two premises:  thattoday there is superdiversity in our globalised world and related is asupercomplexity of theoretical and methodological approaches.  The collection proffers multifariouschallenges for educational theory, research and practice in working with,through and across these two premises.
As such, SuperDimensions in Globalisation and Education is essential reading for all educational researchers, whatever theirinterests or location.

This is a highlyimaginative book that stops ‘flat earth’and convergence arguments dead intheir tracks. Its genius is to bringsuper-complexity and super-diversity into a conversation with each other andwith education, and in doing so shed light on the numerous and unexpectedways in which global processes are shaping education in revealing andcompelling ways.  
Any scholar concerned with globalisation andeducation will find Super Dimensions in Globalisation and Education a’ musthave’ on their reading list.

This is an absorbingand compelling collection. It takes readers on a kaleidoscopic journey throughvarious intricate expressions of the nexus between globalisation andeducation.  And it offers multiple waysthat such expressions can be thought and rethought. In transcending conventional categorisations it invites educators to doso too.
