ABSTRACT
Taking up ongoing discussions on transnationalism, this volume makes a significant contribution by focusing on the highly relevant role of the transatlantic space. The volume introduction describes this space and situates the German-American transatlantic within the history and current state of transnational and transatlantic research in the field history of education research. From there on, the three guiding perspectives the volume centers around are introduced and described: knowledge, institutions, and objects. Knowledge opens discussions on the circulation of ideas while institutions point to incidents when ideas were indirectly transferred, embedded, and enmeshed in various interactions. Last, the focus on objects operates at the intersection of mediality and materiality and allows for innovative case studies. With these perspectives in mind, the introduction calls attention to transatlantic trajectories and translation processes that become visible in the outline and brief synopses of the chronologically arranged chapters with which the introduction concludes.
