	SSCE -- Social Sciences & Comparative Education Division
		The Division of Social Science and Comparative Education (SSCE) is concerned with issues of social, cultural, historical, and comparative/international contexts of education.
		We are also interested in contemporary issues in education situated in historical and comparative context, such as the impact of postmodernism, feminism, multicultural, and critical race theories on education; the new methodologies emerging from these perspectives and the emerging technologies which suggest both perils and promises for a potentially progressive reconstruction of education.
		That is, comparative education specialists give attention to specific geographic regions of the world, though their research is also of a broader nature.
