Based on a scoping review of anglophone, peer-reviewed studies published in the period 1990-2018, we analyze and discuss the research literature on teachers, teaching, and globalization. Distinguishing between three categories of globalization theories, centered on: (1) culture; (2) political economy; and (3) flows and systems, we trace the uses…

Data mining in education predictions are made about other groups based on the big data of education. However, the extent to which training data can be accessed is relative.

Although research has revealed many factors that predict faculty turnover, the literature is often limited by using intent to leave as a proxy for actual turnover, and further by consolidating faculty who leave institutions with faculty who leave the occupation. We resolve these limitations and advance the faculty mobility literature by studying…

Evidence on gender inequality in the labor market is extensive. However, little is known about the potential role of overeducation and horizontal mismatch in explaining women's labor-market disadvantages. We draw on recent data from the Eurograduate pilot survey to investigate the role of overeducation, field-of-study mismatch and field-specific…

This study analyses the relationship between a firms' growth and the educational diversity of their workforce. It differentiates itself from other studies by using two measures of human capital diversity--one for education levels and one for fields--instead of one. The results show that workers with more diverse specializations than the workforce…
