Organising the Future of Educational Research in Post-war Europe and Beyond

Chapter 1 , Organising the Future of Educational Research in Post-war Europe and Beyond, discusses the rise of transnational research in education, and its close connection to the emerging field of global education and knowledge production and policy. The concept of the ‘disembedded laboratory’ draws attention to spatially oriented histories of scientific thought and practice, where knowledge is produced in the interaction of humans, objects, and spaces, and in constant practices. In this context, the chapter also elaborates on the concepts of networking and governing.
