ABOUT CIES 

The Comparative and International Education Society (CIES), Inc., was founded in 1956 to foster cross-cultural 

understanding, scholarship, academic achievement and societal development through the international study 

of educational ideas, systems, and practices. The Society’s members include more than 2000 academics, 

practitioners, and students from around the world. 

Their professional work is built on cross-disciplinary interests and expertise as historians, sociologists, economists, 

psychologists, anthropologists, and educators. The Society also includes approximately 1000 institutional members, 

primarily academic libraries and international organizations. The official website is sponsored by the Comparative 

and International Education Society (CIES). 

Over the last four decades, the activities of the Society’s members have strengthened the theoretical basis of 

comparative studies and increasingly applied those understandings to policy and implementation issues in 

developing countries and cross-cultural settings. The membership has increased global understanding and public 

awareness of education issues, and has informed both domestic and international education policy debate. The 

Society works in collaboration with other international and comparative education organizations to advance the field 

and its objectives. 

The principal Society vehicles for member activities are: 

• the Comparative Education Review—a professional, refereed journal published quarterly (February, May, 

August and November) by the University of Chicago Press 

• the CIES Newsletter—an information document produced three times a year (January, May and September) 

by the CIES Secretariat containing news updates, announcements, committee reports and editorials 

• the CIES Website—a virtual community containing conference rooms, private real time written and voice chats, 

discussion boards, online newsletter, Edupress, documents retrieval and other web services 

• the CIES Annual Conference—a gathering of Society members and interested public usually held in March 

of each year and which is devoted to scholarly and practical exchange, debate and networking. Also, the CIES 

Annual Regional Conferences usually held in November of each year. 

• Standing and Ad Hoc Committees—appointed and voluntary groups focused on promoting specific 

professional interests of the Society, strengthening its voice in policy and intellectual debate, liaising with 

counterpart organizations, and ensuring full and equal representation to its diverse membership. 

As a registered non-profit [501(c)3] organization in the United States, the Comparative and International Education 

Society supports the activities of its members to: 

1. Promote understanding of the many roles that education plays in the shaping and perpetuation of cultures, the 

development of nations, and in influencing the lives of individuals 

2. Improve opportunities for the citizens of the world by fostering an understanding of how education policies and 

programs enhance social and economic development 

3. Increase cross-cultural and cross-national understanding through educational processes and by the study and 

critique of educational theories, policies and practices that affect individual and social well being. 

2 The Politics of Comparison

Dear CIES Annual Meeting Participant, 

T E A C H E R S C O L L E G E 

C O L U M B I A U N I V E R S I T Y 

INTERNATIONAL & TRANSCULTURAL STUDIES 

Welcome to the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Comparative and International 

Education Society in Charleston, South Carolina. We feel privileged to be meeting 

in this beautiful city with its lovely architecture. We hope that you enjoy both the 

venue and participation in the extensive program with its special attention to “The 

Politics of Comparison.” We are indebted to President-Elect Gita Steiner-Khamsi 

and her program committee and assistants who have devoted considerable effort 

to assembling a formidable set of sessions including a provocative set of panels and 

plenary presentations. A special feature of the meeting will be our memorial tribute 

to beloved member Jackie Kirk who met an untimely death in the field in pursuit of 

her commitment to restoring education in the reconstruction of Afghanistan. 

A major attempt was devoted to taking account of the interests and concerns of all 

our members in developing the program. But, even beyond the formal program, 

we invite you to meet and exchange information with the rich set of representatives 

from the many countries and organizations represented at these meetings. 

CIES has always prided itself on the convivial atmosphere and opportunities that it 

presents to its members generally and its annual meeting participants specifically. 

In this year we have especially capitalized on this ambiance by holding the meetings 

in a southern city known for its warmth and hospitality. The several receptions 

provide special opportunities for you to take advantage of this tradition. We 

hope that your experience at these meetings is rewarding in every respect. 

Sincerely, 

Henry M. Levin 

CIES President

INTERNATIONAL & TRANSCULTURAL STUDIES 

Dear Members of the Comparative and International Education Community, 

The Comparative and International Education Society has come a long way. In the 

late 1950s it attracted three dozen committed scholars to its annual conferences. 

Since then our field expanded in every conceivable direction. Our Society includes 

over 3,000 institutional and individual members, based both in the United States 

and abroad. The expansion is reflected in the number of participants as well as 

panels scheduled for the annual meetings. Over the past nine years we moved 

from 150 panels to 350 panels, scheduled over a four-day period. The growth 

of CIES reflects the growing demand for researchers and professionals with an 

international perspective. It is also a tribute to the recognition and the successful 

professionalization of our field that CIES has helped to advance. It is not surprising 

that several panels and exhibitions at this year’s conference deal with the teaching 

of comparative and international education at the graduate and undergraduate 

level. 

Even though Teachers College, Columbia University, is the sponsoring institution, 

we chose to relocate the CIES conference to a Southern state that has not had a 

CIES conference in its proximity for a while. The organization of this “longdistance 

conference” was only possible with the active support of the College of 

Charleston and the University of South Carolina, as well as the organizational help 

of many alumni of Teachers College, Columbia University, that are now spread out 

throughout the world. 

As the Society has been growing exponentially, CIES today relies on all kinds of 

support services such as, for example, a professional conference planner and an 

on-line submission system which, for the first time, included a blind review of 

the submitted abstracts. A special thanks goes to the CIES Committees and the 

fourteen Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that helped us to review and schedule 

panels. A logical next step to accommodate the growing interest in our field is the 

strengthening of regional CIES conferences. I invite you to meet with colleagues 

from your region at the regional meetings, scheduled on Wednesday over lunchtime, 

to discuss the possibility of organizing a one or two-day CIES conference in your 

region. We inserted the name of a contact person for each meeting in case you 

should have a scheduling conflict at the time of these regional meetings. 

I hope you find this year’s conference inspiring for your work and rewarding in 

terms of social interaction!

The World Council of Comparative Education Societies (WCCES) is extremely happy to 

join the CIES at its 53rd Annual Meeting in Charleston, South Carolina. It congratulates its 

incoming and outgoing presidents for continuing the fine CIES tradition of organizing exciting 

and meaningful conferences and thanks the CIES for facilitating the arrangements for 

the WCCES’ Executive Meetings. 

Much in the world has changed since the last CIES meeting in New York. Most crucially 

for the United States there has been a change of government. The election of President 

Obama has been followed keenly everywhere in the world. Many countries, and indeed 

even WCCES’ member societies in these countries, have watched with interest the debates, 

the speeches and the very character of the contest itself. While the central significance of Mr. 

Obama’s election is the historic movement that has taken place in the United States with 

respect to race, for many of us in education, the more pertinent issue relates to the electoral 

process itself. Key in this process was the mobilization of the American people and the 

deeply significant public education that went with it. It would be of real interest to many if 

the nature of this public education process, one which involved millions of volunteers and 

that reached out to even many million more ordinary citizens, were to be made the subject 

of intellectual scrutiny. It would help all of us understand the kinds of civic engagements 

around issues such as the nature of American citizenship, race and class, education, and 

many more, that took place in the United States over a period of at least eighteen months, 

and possibly even bring us to an understanding of what this engagement’s effects might be. 

That this Annual Meeting takes place in Charleston is not, of course, without its own significance. 

Charleston’s colonial history speaks to and has relevance for all the major issues that 

arose during the election. 

The other major development in the world is the collapse of the international economy. 

While it is as yet unclear what the effects of the collapse are on education delivery around 

the world, it is clear that governments everywhere will be having to make hard decisions 

in the coming months and years about funding and the development of their education 

systems. We in comparative education have a special responsibility to be monitoring these 

developments and helping policy-makers in particular to understand the consequences 

of their actions. The conference itself provides an important platform and opportunity for 

looking at these questions and stimulating new work around them. 

The conference, therefore, takes place in a deeply interesting conjuncture of our shared history. 

May we apply our minds wisely as we share each other’s company over the next week. 

Best wishes, 

Crain Soudien

Dear Participants and Members of CIES: 



It is a great honor for Teachers College, Columbia University, that you have entrusted, 

two years in a row, the leadership of your Society to faculty members of 

our university. Last year, Professor Henry Levin opened our gates and welcomed 

you at Teachers College in New York. This year, Professor Gita Steiner-Khamsi has 

relocated the conference to Charleston, South Carolina. 

Teachers College has had the fortune of hosting a program of comparative and 

international education programs for over a hundred years. Our faculty, alumni 

and students see it as their task to advance the field of comparative and international 

education by closely collaborating with their peers regardless of where 

they are based: at other universities, government organizations and NGOs, policy 

think tanks, or other research institutions. It is a noble endeavor to help build and 

strengthen the research and practice of comparative and international education. 

As a sign of gratitude for all those alumni that have greatly advanced the development 

of comparative and international education, Teachers College has established 

The Harold J. Noah Alumni Award in International and Comparative Education. 

The award, named after renowned Professor Emeritus and former Dean Harold J. 

Noah, will be inaugurated at this year’s plenary reception. 

As a university that believes in the great value of an international outlook on educational 

reform, we have embarked on an initiative to internationalize our own 

institution as well as strengthen our international collaboration in research and 

teaching. 

We regret that we are not able to meet you at this year’s CIES conference but are 

pleased that Dr. Portia Williams, Director of International Affairs, will represent us 

at the conference. 

Sincerely, 

Susan Fuhrman 

President, Teachers College, Columbia University

In Memoriam: 

Jackie Kirk 

Coordinated by the Gender Committee on Behalf of the 

CIES Board 

Monday, March 23, 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm 

Embassy Suites Hotel, Citadel Green Room 

Please join us to celebrate Jackie Kirk, our unique, 

joyful friend and creative, prolific colleague. In this late 

afternoon session we will provide a space for reflection 

on Jackie’s life and work. Although Jackie was a member 

of CIES for less than a decade, her contributions 

to our field far outpace those years. We will open 

this remembrance with Jackie’s collaborators briefly 

discussing their work with her, and audience members 

are encouraged to participate in a conversation 

celebrating Jackie’s life and work. Please join us to 

honor her life and work, friendship and collegiality, 

energy and commitment. This special memorial session 

is also a tribute to other colleagues that lost their lives 

while they were on mission. 

Educating for Peace 

Jackie Kirk, 1968-2008 

We dedicate this special issue on education and learning 

in conflict and post-conflict societies to Dr. Jacqueline 

(Jackie) Kirk, 1968-2008. She was an International 

Rescue Committee (IRC) emergency education and 

gender specialist, scholar, activist, CIES member and 

colleague. Shortly after completing her co-authored 

article featured in this issue, in Logar Province, 

Afghanistan on August 13, 2008 Dr. Kirk was murdered 

by the Taliban along with two other IRC education and 

child protection workers and their driver. 

A prolific scholar with extensive field-based experience 

in emergency education in conflict and post-conflict 

contexts, Dr. Kirk was an adjunct faculty member in 

McGill University’s faculty of education and founding 

co-editor of Girlhood Studies. She worked for the 

International Rescue Committee (IRC) as an education 

in emergencies specialist, advising on IRC’s education 

programs around the world. Her passionate commitment 

to excellence in emergency education and to gender 

equality led Dr. Kirk to invest her great talents in the 

activities of the Inter-Agency Network for Education 

in Emergencies (INEE), notably on INEE’s advocacy 

and technical work on gender, the INEE Minimum 

Standards, Teachers’ Compensation Initiative and 

education and fragility. 

One year after joining CIES, Dr. Kirk received 

the George Bereday Award for her 2004 article in 

Comparative Education Review, “Impossible Fictions: 

The Lived Experiences of Women Teachers in Karachi” 

(vol. 48, no. 4). Dr. Kirk recently served as a member 

of the advisory panel for Plan’s 2008 report In the 

Shadow of War, which focuses on girls in conflict and 

post-conflicts zones. The 2009 Education for All Global 

Monitoring Report includes a background paper that Dr. 

Kirk authored on teacher management issues in fragile 

states. Two books that Dr. Kirk authored, one dealing 

with the educational response to the 2005 Pakistan 

earthquake and the other with certification of the learning 

attainments of refugee and internally displaced pupils, 

will soon be published posthumously by the UNESCO 

International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP). 

Women educating for peace, a documentary Dr. Kirk 

recently co-directed with likewise exemplifies her 

approach to research, borrowing from Belgrade activist 

Dasa Duhacek, as “a way of praxis, a powerful tool.” 

Admired and greatly loved by colleagues around the 

world for her creativity, compassion, joie de vivre, 

optimism, boundless energy and deeply-grounded 

research, Jackie will be remembered as one of the field’s 

most committed advocates for the value of education 

as a means of achieving peace and reconstruction 

of war-torn societies. As CIES President Hank Levin 

has noted, Dr. Kirk represents the very best in our 

CIES values. She inspires us to renew our sense of 

commitment and dedication to the education for children 

and communities worldwide.

Workshops 


CONFERENCE THEME: THE POLITICS OF COMPARISON 

As educational researchers and practitioners who work beyond our own national boundaries, we 

are compelled to grapple with the phenomenon of “traveling reforms” or so-called “best practices” 

that are transferred from one country to another. The circulation of “best practices” is but one of 

the new tools to exert international influence on national policy-making. International standards, 

global benchmarks and national targets often rely on international comparison. Why exactly has 

international comparison been championed as an effective policy tool, and what impact has it had 

on local initiatives and practices? These and other related questions will be a particular focus of 

attention during the 2009 CIES conference. 

10:00 am – 11:30 am 

INVITED SESSION 1: Beyond the Corridor of 

Shame: Social Movements, Segregation and Social 

Justice in the South and in the World 

Physicians Auditorium, College of Charleston 

Inspired by Thoreau, Gandhi, Rustin, and King Jr., the struggle 

for social justice has spread from the Roma in Central Europe 

to Septima Clark’s citizenship schools in Charleston, SC. This 

panel of experts examines global issues around equity, racism 

and social justice. After all, worldwide struggles for equity still 

benefit from the progress and reversals in the South, just as the 

South is enlightened by experiences around the world. Global 

ideas circulate, uniting with grass-roots activism, to produce policy 

changes and legal precedents that echo worldwide. 

12:00 pm – 1:30 pm 

INVITED SESSION 2: The Impact of International 

Achievement Studies on National Education 

Policymaking 


The rapid expansion of national participation in international 

achievement studies is a hallmark of global educational 

accountability and planning. Educational policymakers in 

participating countries often look to their nation’s achievement 

results as indicators of progress and quality in education. This 

information has been used to make decisions about resources 

such as funding and status both within and across national 

educational systems. Some of the most productive uses of TIMSS 

and PISA data by policymakers has been to create agendas for 

innovation and equity in national educational systems, but there 

accounts of the “abuse” of the data. This panel will reflect on the 

merits and limitations of league tables, provide recommendations 

for ways that international achievement data can be used in realworld 

policymaking situations, and discuss what the future of 

international achievement studies holds. 

2:00 pm – 3:30 pm 

INVITED SESSION 3: Institutionalizing Comparative 

and International Education: Debates and 

Challenges 


Alongside interest in internationalizing higher education 

experience worldwide, there is increasing interest in teaching 

about comparative and international education in schools of 

education, both at the graduate and undergraduate level. This 

panel examines a range of theoretical, pedagogic, and curricular 

approaches used to create and institutionalize comparative and 

international education programs in the United States and globally.

INVITED SESSION 4: The New Donors in Education 

and Development 


The past decade has seen a proliferation of multinational 

companies as well as international celebrities that have committed 

themselves to corporate social responsibility for sustainable 

development or have set up foundations that channel funds into 

educational development. The financial volume of these new 

donors is not to be underestimated. Different from international 

organizations they are not bound to operate in line with 

international agreements such as, for example, the Education 

for All or Millennium Development Goals. What are their goals, 

missions, and projects?

4:00 – 5:30 pm 

INVITED SESSION 5: Local and Global Knowledge: 

Banking on Expertise? 


The politics of comparison often occurs in the halls of venerated 

UN buildings, among high-level officials in nongovernmental 

and governmental organizations, and are based on data that is 

often quite distant from the people they most directly represent. 

These politics often concern the well-being of local educational 

actors and students far from the political “center,” yet the input 

and participation of local actors is required for the success of 

any programmatic or policy intervention. Further, culture and 

“civilization,” while sometimes neutralized in global affairs, can 

simultaneously generate local or regional identity and strength. 

This panel examines what constitutes “knowledge” worthy of 

being “banked” and how local expertise can be included more 

effectively in policy-making circles in the context of globalization.

4:00 pm – 5:30 pm 

INVITED SESSION 6: Global Monitoring, 

International Aid, and Country Development 

Strategies 


International donors have been increasingly able to “speak 

the same language” by converging their efforts towards the 

pre-defined sets of targets (such as Education for All and the 

Millennium Development Goals) and using education statistics 

as evidence-based policy making tools (such as World Education 

Indicators, Global Education Digest, Human Development 

Report). At the same time, it is still common to find a mismatch 

between the discourse of donors and the needs and homegrown 

strategies of developing countries. This panel focuses on the 

relationship between aid and development with an emphasis on 

global monitoring of education reforms. 

4:00 pm – 5:30 pm

2:00 pm – 3:30 pm 

INVITED SESSION 7: International and Comparative 

Education and Transcultural Studies in Education: 

Reconcilable or Mutually Exclusive? 


Degree programs in US universities started to combine the study 

of comparative and international educational development with the 

study of transcultural education. The proponents argue that the 

transnational flow of capital, people, ideas, beliefs, technologies, 

etc., warrants a broader perspective that accounts for the fact that 

the international dimension is present here, in the United States, 

and therefore should be taught accordingly. The opponents of such 

an alliance highlight the need of scholars and students to learn 

about issues and challenges associated specifically with work and 

research in developing countries outside the United States. Both 

perspectives draw attention to culture and language, but are these 

two fields of study reconcilable or mutually exclusive? 

4:00 pm – 5:00 pm 

INVITED SESSION 8: Visualizing Data for Education 

and Development 


Data, when it is visual, interactive and dynamic, is a powerful 

tool for knowledge and decision-making. It is also fun. This panel 

pulls together two organizations that have harnessed today’s 

technology and design to visualize data. Google has been using 

its mapping tools in education work in East Africa. The EPDC has 

created visualization tools for education projections, education 

trends and distributions, and district profiles for decentralized 

school management.

Open Society Institute 

Education Support Program (OSI - ESP) 

The Open Society Institute (OSI) and Soros Foundations Network works to build vibrant and 

tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens. To achieve its 

mission, OSI seeks to shape public policies that assure greater fairness in political, legal, and 

economic systems and safeguard fundamental rights. On a local level, OSI implements a range 

of initiatives to advance justice, education, public health, and independent media. At the 

same time, OSI builds alliances across borders and continents on issues such as corruption and 

freedom of information. OSI places a high priority on protecting and improving the lives of 

people in marginalized communities. 

Improving education for children with hearing disabilities in Mongolia 

OSI's mission in education is to promote education justice, which involves promoting advocacy, 

innovation and activism in three key areas: 

Combating social exclusion: Education is a fundamental human right that entails equal access 

to quality education for low income families; availability of lifelong learning opportunities; 

desegregation of children from minority groups; and inclusion and adequate care for children 

with special needs. 

Openness and social accountability in education systems and education reforms: The power 

symmetries between governments and polities should be reconciled through the promotion 

of equitable and efficient state expenditures on education; anticorruption and transparency; 

accountable governance and management; and citizen participation. 

Open society values in education: Our campaign for quality education advocates for social 

justice and social action; diversity and pluralism; critical and creative thinking; relevant 

curricula; and learner-centered methodologies.

the historic Avery Normal Institute was 

the center for African-American education 

in Charleston during segregation. Now 

a Museum, Avery opens its doors to 

all CIES participants, and is hoping to 

stage an exhibit on the history of African- 

American education in Charleston. Just 

one kilometer from the Francis Marion— 

an easy and beautiful walk—it is well 

worth the visit. Those who arrive at 

10a.m. or 2 p.m. are likely to receive 

guided tours. Other times are possible 

as well, depending on availability. For 

directions from the Francis Marion to 

Avery, see right. 

Local directions are also available from 

the concierge and hotel staff of the Francis 

Marion.
