April 2023,
and we are busily preparing to offer the course PhD911 Non-Western
Educational Philosophy and Policy, now that the administration has
completed its admissions process. I am pleased to report that we had 34
applicants from universities in 17 countries: Ghana, Zimbabwe, South
Africa, Uganda, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Finland, UAE, Iran,
Bangladesh, India, China, Australia, Canada, and the USA.
The course runs during the first two weeks of May 2023 as an entirely online
doctoral seminar, and its live discussion sessions will be planned for
compatibility with the various time zones. Later, the students will work on
their writing assignment with some individual tutoring. It is exciting to see
such interest in this topic, and I am hopeful that we will learn much from each
other and collectively produce some unique outcomes.
The first
two cohorts of this course (2020-2022) produced the book Comparative and
Decolonial Studies in Philosophy of Education, and hopefully the 2023
cohort will also develop plans for a collaborative project of some kind.

as an Affiliate Professor at University of Faroe Islands.
