Common Interests, Uncommon Goals by Vandra Masemann

Common Interests, Uncommon Goals by Vandra Masemann

distinction Masters student at the University of Hong Kong, who then proceeded to her doctoral studies under the supervision of Mark Bray and myself. Her d- toral research field is closely linked to the subject of this book. The book also benefits greatly from the distinguished authorship of the - dividual chapters. The section on the WCCES itself has been written by former Presidents, some of whom have also had links with the University of Hong Kong either as visitors or, in one case (Anne Hickling-Hudson), as a Commonwealth Scholar. Most of the chapters on the individual societies have been written by Past Presidents of those societies, all distinguished figures in the field th- selves. The book shows that it is possible to talk of a global field of comparative education, of which one manifestation is the WCCES itself. At the same time, the emphases of the field are very different in, say, China, South Africa and France. These are among the factors that make the field so interesting and p- ductive. CERC is proud to make its own contribution to the field in multiple ways, including through the publication of this book.

From the reviews:

"The book is drawn from the many interests and goals (common interests, uncommon goals) that various persons and also societies held to be important… For those interested in the development of comparative education this book is a must read. … For the research to be valid and reliable, certain standards of research should be observed." (T. Neville Postlethwaite, International Review of Education, Vol. 55, 2009)

Mark Bray is a long-time political activist and a PhD candidate in Modern European History at Rutgers University. He was a key member of Occupy Wall Street's Press Working Group. He resides in the state of New Jersey in the United States.
