This chapter examines the decision of Japanese immigrant parents and leaders to send their children to school abroad. Issei found many advantages in transnational education, including the improvement of the Nisei's employment opportunities and the narrowing of cultural and linguistic gaps between the first and second generations. Many also saw the purposes of study abroad in terms similar to community-based language instruction at home. Immigrant parents anticipated that attending school in Japan would enhance their childreni's appreciation of a moral and dignified lifestyle based on Japanese ethics.Less

For as far back as school registers can take us the most prestigious education available to any Irish boy or girl was to be found outside of Ireland. Catholics of Consequence traces for the first time the transnational education, careers, and lives of more than two thousand Irish boys and girls who attended Catholic schools in England, France, Belgium, and elsewhere in the second half of the nineteenth century. There was a long tradition of Irish Anglicans and Catholics sending their children abroad for the majority of their formative years As the cultural nationalism of the Irish revival at the end of the nineteenth century took root, however, Irish Catholics who sent their children to school in Britain were accused of a pro-Britishness that crystallized into still recognizable terms of insult such as West Briton, Castle Catholic, Squireen, and Seoinin. This concept has an enduring resonance in Ireland, but very few publications have ever interrogated it. Catholics of Consequence marks the first ever attempt to analyse the education and subsequent lives of the Irish boys and girls who received this type of transnational education. It also tells the story of elite education in Ireland, where schools such as Clongowes Wood and Castleknock College were rooted in the Continental Catholic tradition, but also looked to public schools in England as exemplars. Taken together it tells the story of an Irish Catholic elite at once integrated and segregated within what was then the most powerful state in the world.Less

Outlines the education and immersion of 1,307 Irish boys in the four most prestigious English Catholic schools (Stonyhurst, Downside, Oscott, Beaumont) in the second half of the nineteenth century. Throughout the nineteenth century and well into the twentieth some of the wealthiest Catholic families in Ireland chose to pursue an English education in preference to an Irish education. The most prestigious schools in England all had a significant percentage of Irish boarders throughout the nineteenth century; usually more than one boy in five was Irish. The decision to send a son to a boarding school in England can neither have been taken lightly, nor without a level of strategic planning. This chapter asks why Irish families were willing to be separated from their sons for up to two years at a time, pay higher fees, and travel a tremendous and costly distance.Less

This chapter identifies a singular initiative in transnational education. Europe's task of educating large numbers of non-European children—now largely Muslim refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia—requires a new vision and practice of education. Sweden is once again taking the lead; however, adapting the Ross model to fit a Swedish public high school in a deeply segregated neighborhood proves to be an enormous challenge. The chapter traces the multiple-year effort of a team of principals, teachers, and staff from Ross and Tensta working transnationally to adapt the ideas and philosophy of Ross to a new context. This collaboration includes work to consolidate the Ross curriculum and pedagogy, synthesize the ethos and spirit of Ross, and establish a school environment conducive to the model.Less
