The seminar series 'Internationalisation and Educational Reform in Eastern European and the Commonwealth of Independent States' is organised by the Kazakhstan programme research team as a platform for analysis, discussion and critique of the recent educational reforms in the Newly Independent nations of the former Soviet Union and its satellite states. From a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives the questions that we invite us all to explore are: - the Russian/Soviet inheritance and how this continues to shape education policy and practice - the relationship of educational reform to the development of post independence national identity - the internationalisation of education reform, the global education space, policy 'borrowing' and the indigenisation of international practice. All are welcome!
