Principles of Transversality in Globalization and Education

Associate Professor David R. Cole works as an educational researcher at Western Sydney University, Australia. Currently the Globalisation theme leader at the Centre for Educational Research (CER), he has dedicated his career to exploring how the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari can be used to critique, enliven and change educational practice; his efforts have yielded more than 100 publications and sixteen books in the field. Cole thinks in an international context and has completed 12 major research projects that have investigated how the ideas of Deleuze and Guattari work in an empirical sense. Cole’s latest monograph is: “A Pedagogy of Cinema” (with Joff P.N. Bradley), Sense Publishers, Rotterdam.

Joff P.N. Bradley is associate professor in the faculty of language studies at Teikyo University in Tokyo, Japan. He is the co-author of Deleuze and Buddhism with Tony See and co-writer of A Pedagogy of Cinema with David R. Cole. He has co-edited Educational Philosophy and New French Thought with the same author. He is a member of the New Tokyo Group in Japan, a committed group of language scholars working on critical pedagogy projects in the nation’s capital and beyond.
