About

Tom G. Griffiths is a Professor of International Education and Development. Tom’s research has two inter-related trajectories: 1) the development of world-systems analysis as a theoretical framework for engaged educational research, and 2) the study of the relationship between models of mass education and (historical, current, future) socialist projects, informed by this framework. Throughout, Tom’s research has sought to explore education's potential contribution, via the preparation of engaged citizens, to the construction of a more democratic, equal, just, peaceful, and ecologically sustainable world-system.
