📌 Applications are Open for the Compare Fellowship 2024-2025
Compare is a leading journal of international and comparative education, publishing eight issues a year of high-quality articles on diverse issues of educational policy and practice around the world.
In order to maintain its significant global standing, one of Compare’s missions is to develop the diversity of its authorship and support underrepresented groups in light of the considerable inequalities of global academic publishing. For this reason, in 2017, it established an annual Compare Fellowship to support early career academics from the Global South in disseminating their research and scholarship to a global audience.
The fellowship will run from 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025 and provides full financial support (including travel, accommodation, and subsistence) and guidance from an academic mentor on several activities.
Deadline: 8th April, 2024
