From the editor's desk: Premier Issue, Vol. 1 No. 1 - Fall
2002
An idea- a motivation- a plan- and a realization. In Focus is a journal
that aspires to advance the labor involved with the “perseverance of
knowledge construction” in the field of Comparative, International and
Intercultural Education that Carlos Torres found to be the principal
feature in the endurance of this discipline. In Focus is the result of
the hard work and collaboration of the editorial board, authors and peer
reviewers, all of whom are graduate students.
It would be unjust to proceed further without acknowledging that this
particular production exists as the fruition of a concept proposed by
Miguel Ángel Escotet. He has the capacity to engender an allegiance to
the ideals of equity, multiculturalism and the rigorous pursuit of
academic excellence.
And this rigorous pursuit will continue to escalate with each forthcoming
issue of In Focus. As Nelly Stromquist stated in the preface of the
Comparative Education Review (2002), “ We need descriptions of contexts
and settings that capture significant features in a variety of countries
and regions and that weave events unfolding in the educational arena with
those taking place in other arenas, be they economic, technological,
cultural, political, or any other combination" (p.v). With this in
mind, we encourage graduate students to submit their work and would like
to encourage professors to advocate submissions.
