For this episode, we are sharing Keita Takayama’s talk originally given during the Department of Educational Foundations’ Fall 2022 Colloquium speaker series. Keita is Professor/Director for the Global Education Office in the Graduate School of Education, Kyoto University, Japan. His research examines the globalization of educational policy and knowledge from a decolonial/postcolonial perspective. In this talk, Keita provides a critical self-reflection of the work he does as a co-editor of two international journals in education and the tensions and contradictions that arise in relation to his own scholarship.
