It was not my plan, but development work followed my full-time university employment. My foray into the academic world began at the University of Chicago where I was an Assistant Professor. It was there that I learned the unspoken truth that success in academia hinges on a strong research record and publications in prestigious journals. Teaching, while important, often took a backseat to the pursuit of research grants and scholarly recognition. In fact, I was informed by my Department of Education chair that, “You don’t need to teach during your first year—just publish a few good journal articles.” This revelation was both disheartening and motivating, as it forced me to adapt and refine my approach to academic life.

This study investigates intergenerational mobility and socioeconomic disparities in women's education in India, utilizing data from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) Wave 1. It uniquely examines three generations of women: the second generation (G2), aged 45–75, who reported on their own education, their mother's education (G1), and their daughter's education (G3). Despite India's economic growth over the past three decades, women's educational status remains poor, influenced by enduring gender discrimination. The study constructs educational transition matrices and measures two mobility indices: M1, which represents the expected proportion of daughters transitioning from their mother's educational level, and M2, which measures the extent of transitions between educational categories. M1 is further broken down into upward and downward mobility. The findings highlight significant progress in educational mobility across generations, with notable increases in upward mobility from the grandmother-mother to the mother-daughter generations, indicating a positive trend. Urban women show significantly higher levels of educational mobility compared to their rural counterparts. However, the study also identifies a decline in multigenerational educational mobility among Muslim women. Persistent caste-based disparities in education are observed, although there is a promising trend of narrowing gaps in recent years. Additionally, the study reveals substantial progress in educational attainment among the most economically disadvantaged groups compared to previous generations.

I don't consider myself a warrior; I identify more with the qualities of the explorer and the soldier. Although I come from humble origins, raised by a single mother, I made my way in the world thanks to my tenacity and ambition. I was the first Mexican to receive a doctorate from Stanford University School of Education. Although not extensive, my production has contributed to comparative and international education debates. I make my living teaching and researching the politics of education at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM), Xochimilco campus; I teach undergraduate, master's and doctoral subjects. I direct my students' theses and participate in committees of many others. I also partake in several institutional committees. I am a member of the National System of Researchers and several professional associations, such as the Comparative and International Education Society, the Mexican Council of Educational Research, and others, national and international. I am a founding member of the Mexican Society of Comparative Education. From these associations, I derive the networks in which I operate, have interlocutors for my work, and comment on those of my colleagues from various parts of the world.

Sustainability is a goal for today, with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) acting as a guiding framework in a world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. As research universities with distinctive global orientations, world-class universities (WCUs) are key players in promoting global sustainability, though there may be wide variation across WCUs in how, and to what degree, they are promoting global sustainability. By collecting and coding vast amounts of official textual data from 60 WCUs, this study indicates that WCUs’ contributions to global sustainability can be seen in the following five dimensions: education and research, outreach and engagement, campus operation and transportation, landscapes and ecosystems, and global leadership and impact evaluation. Additionally, the results reveal different priorities of WCUs in promoting global sustainability, identifying four distinctive clusters of WCUs based on their focus areas, designated as generally-balanced, academically-dominated, externally-associated, and internally-reformed. This study also attempts to construct a framework to measure WCUs’ contributions to global sustainability, which is useful to characterize WCUs’ contributions as expressive, constructive, projective, and evaluative.

There is a notable cross-national effort to incorporate market-based policies in education. This article examines one such context, the United States (US). Specifically, we examine the civic side of American charter schools through a human capital lens. Comparison of National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Civics grade 8 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 restricted use data provided awareness of micro-level factors related to youth civic knowledge and skill acquisition. Analyses of multiple testing cycles helped further identify patterns and relationships over time that are essential in understanding variations in civic learning across periods and school types. Results indicated that American charter schools demonstrated higher average civic performance scores for most of the testing cycles than traditional public schools. Black and Hispanic American charter and private school students demonstrate higher civic performance levels. Key factors such as teacher time spent on civics instruction and teacher credentials are not necessarily correlated with higher civic scores. Though these differences should be interpreted with caution, the findings have implications for market-based education policies writ large, specifically for charter and charter-like schools in the global north and south.

This article analyses the network of actors involved in the contemporary digitalization of the Chilean school system and the role of private EdTech corporations in this ecosystem. Using a framework based on new modes of education governance and contributions from the cultural political economy, three sources were triangulated: i) 22 semi structured interviews with key actors and policymakers, ii) a database of startups in the EdTech sector in Chile and iii) a systematization of the main digital education policies implemented in the country. The findings reveal a poorly coordinated network of actors, which has allowed the inorganic and heterogeneous growth of EdTech corporations, whose role encompasses not only the production of technology but also its articulation and management. To this form, EdTech companies play a central role not only as producers of technology, but also as articulators and administrators, illustrating a displacement of the State from some of its historic functions.

Due to the prevalence of information and communication technologies (ICT) among secondary school students and the increasing significance of digital reading, exploring the impact of ICT on students’ digital reading performance in English seems necessary. The current research aimed to examine the effects of ICT competencies factors on secondary school students’ English digital reading performance. Data were obtained from 7703 15-year-old students from three East Asian economies, Macau, Hong Kong, and Singapore, from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018 dataset. The results of hierarchical regression analysis revealed that students’ ICT literacy was negatively correlated with their English digital reading performance, while the influence of attitudes toward ICT varied across the three East Asia economies. Additionally, males had lower English digital reading achievement, while students with higher socioeconomic status (SES) had higher English digital reading performance.
