Biography
Nigel Bagnall is currently Associate Professor at the University of Sydney, Australia. He has worked in international schools and his world-acclaimed research has included work on intercultural sensitivity, education and belonging, youth transition into a global marketplace, and global identity formation.
'The presentation of the book is easy to follow as Bagnall lists important terms and concepts in the early chapters, describes the longitudinal design of this study, and quotes students’ responses extensively in most chapters of the book to illustrate their feelings about international schooling. Such an in-depth qualitative study provides researchers and policy makers with valuable information on international schooling, student identity formation, globalized education, and ways of conducting cross-country educational research.' - Hao Wang, RELC, December 2015
