Online seminar: “The ethics and politics of educational export: Japan and Finland in a comparative perspective”

Presentation 2 “Education export in the Finnish higher education context: principles and tensions” Henna Juusola (Tampere University), Kimmo Kuortti (Tampere University)

Education export has become an important national agenda of Japan and Finland, framed by the understanding that exporting education promotes national economic growth and international cooperation, among other benefits. What exactly is done in the name of education export in the two countries? How are the policies and practices of education export framed by the broader politics and historical legacies of international collaboration in these societies? What ethical and political dimensions of education export are addressed in policy and its implementation? In this seminar, aiming to reimagine the challenges of and fruitful avenues for international collaboration in education, speakers comparatively and critically examine the cases of education export from the Japanese and Finnish perspectives.
