Dr. Ruth Hayhoe, professor at the
Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto, has dedicated her academic career to the study of Chinese education. Now, after several decades of becoming one of the most recognizable names in the field of international and comparative education, she has compiled some of her most relevant works into a succinct piece for the
World Library of Educationalists series, entitled
China Through the Lens of Comparative Education: The Selected Works of Ruth Hayhoe (Routledge. 2015). The book consists of three parts: Comparative Education and China, Higher Education and History, Religion, Culture and Education, all of which are made up of past pieces selected by Dr. Hayhoe herself.
Dr. Hayhoe joins
New Books in Education for the interview to discuss this book and her distinguished career. For questions or comments on the podcast, you can also find the host on Twitter at
