Resumo

This workshop aims to explore the connected histories between internationalism, imperialism and education since the late nineteenth-century. The internationalization of imperial and colonial affairs – characterized by a mounting centrality of international and transnational groups and organizations focused on addressing and conditioning the workings of colonial empires – impacted upon the ways in which native policies, namely native education, was debated at national and international levels.
Exploring these debates, and identifying the major problems and the key actors involved – from educational and colonial experts to institutions such as the League of Nations or the UNESCO –, this meeting will contribute to readdress the role of education in the histories of imperialism and internationalism, dealing with issues such as, for example, the relations between education and labour in colonial contexts, the international regulation and comparison of imperial and colonial educational practices, and the connections between education and doctrines and policies of social and economic development in imperial and colonial contexts.
