Iveta Silova leads a roundtable conversation with international doctoral scholars Prince Kwarase, Esther Pretti, and Shagun Singha about the most recent UNESCO education report. The report outlines goals intended to create a new social contract for education, fueling the discussion on whether these goals are sufficient for our new post-pandemic world. In thinking towards the future, the guests discuss what topics they anticipate being in the next UNESCO report on education and how it could be approached.Link to UNESCO report Reimagining our futures together: a new social contract for educationMore Responses to UNESCO's Report(6:52) - Discussion on whether or not the ideas proposed in the UNESCO report are realistic or not enough.(13:32) - Details on the backgrounds of the guests and how they relate to the report.(24:20) -The last couple of years have been very challenging for everyone, how has that impacted your perspectives as new academics?(35:53) - By 2050 these new academics are on-track to write the next UNESCO report; therefore, what would be the themes and how would it be approached? (40:36) - Closing comments About our guests:Iveta Silova  | ASU BioPrince KwaraseEsther PrettiShagun Singha  The Learning Futures Podcast is produced at the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University.

What does it mean to think of comparative education beyond the human? Is our field based on assumptions of individual autonomy and Western Enlightenment thinking that sees time as linear and progress as possible? Does a “posthuman future” hold new possibilities for our research? And can our field live with such dissonance? Earlier this month, the Post Foundational Approaches to Comparative and International Education Special Interest Group of the Comparative and International Education Society organized a webinar entitled “Exploring education beyond the human” to think through some of these questions. The webinar brought together Weili Zhao, Stephen Carney, and Iveta Silova. I moderated the discussion, which explored what education beyond the human would actual look like and entail. In this special addition of FreshEd, I’m going to replay our conversation because I think the ideas discussed push our field in new and important directions. www.freshedpodcast.com/beyondhuman Twitter: @FreshEdpodcast Facebook: FreshEd Email: info@freshedpodcast.com

What was it like growing up and attending school in the Soviet Union and other socialist societies? Did the lived experiences of children match the official rhetoric of the state or the Western bloc? What agency did children have? My guests today are Iveta Silova and Nelli Piattoeva. Together with Zsuzsa Millei, they have a new co-edited book that explores the memories of everyday life in socialist societies, showing the multiplicity and political nature of childhood experiences. Their memories challenge the master-narratives that have come to dominate the way we think about the Soviet Union and other Socialist societies. Ultimately, their work pushes the field of comparative education in new directions. Iveta Silova is a professor at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University and Nelli Piattoeva is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Education and Culture, University of Tampere, Finland. Their new co-edited book is entitled Childhood and Schooling in (Post)Socialist Societies: Memories of Everyday Life.

My guest today is Iveta Silova, Director of the Center for the Advanced Studies in Global Education at Arizona State University. Professor Silova has spent her career studying post-socialist education transformation processes. In today’s show she discusses some of her new work comparing Latvian textbooks before, during, and after Soviet occupation. http://www.freshedpodcast.com/ivetasilova/ Email: info@freshedpodcast.com Twitter: @freshedpodcast

Does social science as it is commonly understood and practiced work in post-socialist settings? That may sound like an absurd question, even a bit crude. My guests today, Alla Korzh and Noah Sobe, see limits to the very social imaginaries underpinning social science. They argue that the diversity of post-socialist transformations challenges the existing paradigms and frameworks of theory and method used in much social science today. Together with Iveta Silova and Serhiy Kovalchuk, Alla and Noah co-edited a 17-chapter volume entitled “Reimagining Utopias: Theory and method for education research in post-socialist context.” The book explores from many perspectives the shifting social imaginaries of post-socialist transformations to understand what happens when the new and old utopias of post-socialism confront the new and old utopias of social science.  Alla Korzh is an assistant professor of international education at the School for International Training Graduate Institute, World Learning. Noah Sobe is a professor of cultural and educational policy studies at Loyola University Chicago and past president of the Comparative and International Education Society.

1) Abstract: Globalization has a profound effect on the mission and goals of education worldwide. One of its most visible manifestations is the worldwide endorsement of the idea of “education for global citizenship,” which has been enthusiastically supported by national governments, politicians, and policy-makers across different nations. What is the role of international schools in implementing the idea of “education for global citizenship”? How do these schools attempt to create a culturally unbiased global curriculum when the adopted models have been developed by Western societies and at the very least are replete with (Western) cultural values, traditions, and biases? 2) The International comparisons and benchmarking have become a major influence on education policy- making in Central Asia and other post-Soviet states. Joining the international student achievement studies such as PISA, TIMSS, and TALIS have brought significant benefits to participating countries, while also enabling the new political technologies of governing the post-Soviet education space by numbers. International benchmarking, and the “best practices” that come along with it, have contributed to the production of educational knowledge that not only attempts to explain education phenomena but also constructs “norms” embedded in education policies and practices.
