    COMPARATIVE EDUCATION, 56(1) 96-110, Jan, 2020  Peer-reviewedInvited
    Action follows from being. One's way of doing and understanding comparative education follows from one's being. It springs from the soul. Using [Kim, T., and R. Brooks' (2013). "Internationalisation, Mobile Academics, and Knowledge Creation in Universities: A Comparative Analysis." SRHE Research Award (2011/12) Final Report] framework on the relationship between academic mobility and knowledge creation, I will reflect here on my personal and intellectual journey and how it has shaped my work on comparative histories of the field of comparative education. As this article is written, I am commencing a new transition in my professional life, this time in Japan. I am reflecting on a possible new research agenda building on my past work and the new panorama opened from my new vantage point in the field.

    Routledge international handbook of schools and schooling in Asia, May, 2018  
    This chapter presents research on the theme of private supplementary tutoring in four regions of Asia. They converge in their concept of private tutoring as the practice of fee-paying tutoring in academic subjects provided outside standard school hours. This may take the form of instruction to individuals, small groups or large classes, both directly and through virtual classrooms. Scholars have used the metaphor of "shadow education" to depict how private tutoring mimics mainstream education systems. The chapter examines Bourdieusian social theory. It reviews private tuition as a social practice resulting from a triadic interaction among habitus, capital and field. The chapter illuminates the "shadows" in Asian education. Some governments turn a blind eye to this social practice, as it enables them to retain teachers in the profession at a lower cost. These irregularities, however, lead to other problems, such as corruption on the part of teachers and/or school leaders. Copyright © 2018 selection and editorial matter, Kerry J. Kennedy and John Chi-Kin Lee; individual chapters, the contributors.
