The aim of the series Pittsburgh Studies in Comparative and International Education (PSCIE) is to produce edited and authored volumes on key international education issues, trends, and reforms, including examinations of national education systems, social theories, and development education initiatives. Local, national, regional, and global volumes (single authored and edited collections) are welcomed and offer potential contributors a great deal of latitude based on interests and cutting edge research. The series is supported by a strong network of international scholars and development professionals who serve on the International Advisory Board and participate in the selection and review process for manuscript development. The volumes are intended to provide not only useful contributions to comparative, international, and development education (CIDE) but also possible supplementary readings for advanced courses for undergraduate and graduate students in CIDE.
