The Centre for International Education is delighted to announce the launch of Global Research Insights: Voices from across the Globe. This edited collection (Udosen and Dunne, 2025) brings together a number of essays that offer important research insights into pressing concerns about education and development across a wide range of national contexts. Importantly, the collection brings new voices into global conversations about the inadequacies of education policy and practice, in ways that mainstream development research does not do.

These essays were initially developed as dissertation research studies from the 2023/24 cohort of the MA in International Education and Development programme led by faculty from the Centre for International Education.

Each essay in the collection has been informed by theoretical explorations that draw on the intersecting fields of coloniality, gender, power, inequality, conflict, displacement and critical pedagogy, among other themes relevant to education and development. The carefully crafted contributions reflect diverse perspectives and contexts, underscoring the value of small-scale research that is often overlooked in mainstream discourse. While these studies may not draw on large population samples, they offer rich, mostly qualitative insights that illuminate lived experiences, challenge prevailing assumptions, and provide foundations upon which future scholarship can build.

Fabulous work - congratulations and a big thank you to all the authors, as well as to Dr Namse Udosen and Professor Máiréad Dunne for curating this excellent collection.
