The 2014 BAICE conference will be held from 8 - 10 September, 2014 at the University of Bath on the theme of “Power, Politics and Priorities for Comparative and International Education.” The conference challenges participants to consider how comparisons are used as part of wider political agendas, to investigate power relationships in educational policy and practice, and to critically consider priorities for contemporary research.  Papers will focus on the following sub-themes:
