Literacies of (Post)socialist Childhood: Remapping National Borders, Territories, and Identities through School Textbooks
Iveta Silova is professor and director of the Center for the Advanced Studies in Global Education at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at ASU. Her research focuses on the study of globalization, democratization, and policy ‘borrowing’ in education. Her publications cover a range of issues critical to understanding post-socialist education transformation processes, including gender equity trends in Eastern/Central Europe and Central Asia, minority/multicultural education policies in the former Soviet Union, as well as the scope, nature, and implications of private tutoring in a cross-national perspective. Her latest edited volume is “Globalization on the Margins: Education and Post-Socialist Transformations in Central Asia” (Information Age Publishing, 2011).
