We are honored that you have chosen to have the 49th annual meeting of the Society at SUSE. I wish you an intellectually stimulating and most enjoyable conference. The School of Education at Stanford has long been at the forefront of educational research and graduate training. We have a small but superb teacher education program. This year the program is expanding from secondary education to begin training teachers in elementary education. We have important programs in curric- ulum, educational psychology, measurement and statistical methods, the econom- ics and sociology of education, organizations and leadership, educational policy analysis, and, of course, international and comparative education. More than one-third of our Ph.D. recipients end up in academia, the highest of any School of Education in the country. However, we are not just an ivory tower. Our faculty and students are deeply involved in schools, working hands on with teach- ers and administrators to improve learning, especially among low-income children. We are extremely proud of the International and Comparative Education program at SUSE, which has been at the forefront of the field for the past forty years. Many of the leaders of CIES have been students in the program. The last time the CIES was at Stanford was exactly twenty years ago, in 1985. This close relationship be- tween Stanford and CIES has been beneficial to all of us. I hope that the annual meeting this year will be a tremendous success. On behalf of the School of Education, I assure you that we will do everything we can to make sure that it is. Sincerely, Deborah Stipek Dean, School of Education ii Welcome from the President of CIES Comparative and International Education Society Greetings!

Stanford University School of Education’s International and Comparative Education Program is your host. We hope that you enjoy your stay with us. This year’s meeting is organized around the theme, Beyond Dichotomies. Comparative and International Education is loaded with conflicting conceptions about education, language, the role of gender in education, notions of teaching and teacher education, and how to do meaningful research. We have urged all of you to explore these conflicting approaches in your papers and panels. In order to stimulate the discussion further, we have organized a series of invited panels. Hopefully, you will be able to attend at least one of these. The Eggerston Lecture will be given by Nelly Stromquist, a long-time member of the Society and former President. Her lecture, on girls’ education, will be part of the Gender Symposium, which will take place on Wednesday, March 23, from 10:30 AM to 3 PM, and will include the luncheon address. The 2005 Kneller Lecture will be given by Weifang Min, Provost at the University of Beijing, Professor Min is a leading force in China’s educational reforms. He specializes in higher education, where major changes are taking place in educational policies. His talk is titled, ““The Economic Transition and Higher Education Reform in China.” The Meeting is being held in three different buildings on the Stanford campus—the two buildings of the School of Education and the Wallenberg Building, a space constructed to facilitate the use of new technologies in university teaching. During the conference we will have a videoconference with South Africa, using the excellent conferencing facilities in the Wallenberg Building. Again, we welcome you to fair California. Enjoy the Conference, enjoy the Bay Area, and enjoy challenging the paradigms of our intellectual field. Remember, one good new idea makes the trip worthwhile. Sincerely, Martin Carnoy, President-Elect iv About CIES The Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) was founded in 1956 to foster cross-cultural understanding, scholarship, academic achievement and societal development through the international study of educational ideas, systems, and practices.
