XVIII World Congress of Comparative Education Societies

Co-convened by WCCES and UNESCO, at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, from 22-26 July 2024, the XVIII WCCES World Congress will be a unique venue to bring together constituent societies and their members, other scholars, researchers, policy-makers, community leaders, and stakeholders. The theme, Fostering Inclusive Ecologies of Knowledge: Education for equitable and sustainable futures, has been chosen to stimulate dialogue and reflections on the futures of international and comparative education. Twenty-five years since the publication of ‘Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples’ we must continue to engage with the rich diversity of ecologies of knowledge and reflect on implications of these for education and research, policy and practice. International and comparative education provides an intellectual space for world epistemologies and the production of knowledge for social transformation. Our field is a powerful force for reimagining our futures together and shaping more just, inclusive, and sustainable futures for all.
