Understanding Barriers to Engagement With a Prostate Cancer Research and Genetic Risk Service Among UK Men of Black African or Black Caribbean Ancestry
INTRODUCTION: Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide, and there is no national prostate cancer screening programme in the United Kingdom. Men of African ancestry are twice as likely to be diagnosed as men of European ancestry and are diagnosed at a younger age. Despite this, Black men are under-represented in seeking advice about prostate cancer symptoms, screening and genetic research. There is increasing research focused on …
Global citizenship
The extent to which education has a long-term impact on the way students view themselves and the world is a key question, not least when curricula with an international character claim to develop attributes aligned with global citizenship. To our knowledge, there have been few, if any, longitudinal studies that assess the impact of curricula that make such claims. Examining students’ and alumni perceptions of an experiential element of one partic…

Belonging, identity and Third Culture Kids
This article is based on a multiple case study which examines the lives of a group of 11 former international school students who all attended an international school between 20 and 50 years ago. The research design was based on a review of the literature on third culture kids and adult third culture kids, covering emotional and relational issues such as sense of belonging, identity and the nature of relationships formed. Data were gathered throu…
Internationalism and globalization as contexts for international education
A problem with the construction of an inclusive definition of international education is that the word ‘international’ has a variety of connotations. It is proposed that the term ‘international education’ is ambiguous because it appears to refer to contrasting usages in educational studies. International education is frequently discussed in the context of the related field of comparative education, but a different sense of the term has also devel…

An Investigation of the Effectiveness of an Evaluation Instrument Designed for Use with Modular Masters Courses in a Range of International Contexts
In a previous paper the construction of an instrument designed to be of use in the evaluation of modular Masters courses for teachers and administrators in international schools was described. Initial impressions of the efficacy of the instrument were encouraging, and its use was extended in a number of ways within the scheme of continuing professional development organised through the Centre for the study of Education in an International Context…

Recently this modular scheme has been extended to become more accessible to teachers in international and overseas schools around the world, with modules taught in a range of locations internationally including a Summe…
