ABSTRACT

We have explored now the notion of globalisation and suggested some of the uncertain reframings which appear to be possible both as a response, a contribution and, indeed, as part of it. Following this, we have suggested that many attempts to reframe pedagogy in the current period remain contained within modernist assumptions which construct globalisation as an extended form of internationalisation and tend to produce forms of relocation where people are still ‘kept in their place’, even whilst there is a diversification of places within which they/we can be kept. The pedagogic zoo may have become more exotic in some senses, but those within it are still kept apart. An obvious question to which we need to respond, therefore, is that of the significance of globalisation as we have framed it for pedagogy.
