– Globalisation and Europeanisation Network in Education |
04-11-2004 |
GENIE – the Globalisation and Europeanisation Network
in Education—was created as a response to the increasing
scope of Europeanisation and the increasing pace and penetration
of globalisation and their various impacts on national education
systems.
It aims to provide a means for interested and concerned academics
from across Europe to develop and consolidate a knowledge base
for teaching and research around the theme of globalisation
and Europeanisation in education.
In taking Europeanisation and globalisation as ‘topic’,
‘medium’ and ‘outcome’, GENIE offers
the opportunity for reflexive mutual support and learning.
Aims and Objectives
• Strengthen the community of scholars engaged in teaching
globalisation and Europeanisation in undergraduate and graduate
programmes
• Develop understandings of the dimensions of globalisation,
regionalisation and Europeanisation including how these ideas
are constructed in different debates and in different national
and institutional settings
• Identify and develop knowledge and understandings of
key sub-themes that make up the theme globalisation and Europeanisation
in education;
• Systematically develop the knowledge and teaching resource
bases around the theme and subtheme areas, including how it
is shaped in and shapes university curriculums, debates, policies
and practices;
• Promote the exchange of knowledge and understandings
around, and of ideas and practices for the teaching of, globalisation
and Europeanisation as it is understood in different national
and institutional settings;
• Generate new understandings around globalisation and
processes of Europeanisation which might act as the basis of
knowledge transformation;
• Act as a clearing house for members’ (and others’)
resources, experiences and expertise.
• Strengthen the potential for research on globalisation
and Europeanisation
• Identify modes of dissemination and initiatives around
the overall theme and its subthemes that can be developed in
the future; and thereby, strengthen and enhance the quality
of teaching of globalisation and Europeanisation within higher
education institutions.
