Compare is a leading journal of international and comparative education, publishing six issues a year of high quality articles on diverse issues of educational policy and practice around the world. It is the official journal of the British Association of International and Comparative Education (BAICE), which works to support activities of research, teaching and collaboration in the field. 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 significant inequalities of global academic publishing. For this reason, it established in 2017 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 2019 – 31 August 2020 and provide full financial support (including travel, accommodation and subsistence) for the following activities:
- Attending the UKFIET conference in Oxford, UK, from 17-19 September 2019 (candidates are strongly encouraged to submit a presentation)
- Attending the Compare writers’ workshop at the conference (a full-day course for early career researchers)
- 2-4 week stay at an institution in the UK following the conference (to carry out library research, attend academic events, and develop publication ideas with the guidance of a mentor)
On returning to their country of origin, the Compare Fellow will be expected to continue with the following activities:
- Participating in the e-mentoring following on from the writers’ workshop
- Developing an article for Compare
- Facilitating the organization of activities to support academic writing for other academics in their institution/country
- Participating in Compare as a reviewer
