The Routledge International Companion to Multicultural Education is the first authoritative reference work
to provide a comprehensive international description and analysis of multicultural education from many
nations, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Norway,
Indonesia, Brazil, and Mexico. The volume consists of 40 newly commissioned chapters written by a
prestigious group of internationally known scholars.
At the conference, several authors of the Companion from different nations provided an overview of the volume, the historical development of multicultural education within their nations, and the major debates in the field, and made scholarly observations and predictions about the future of multicultural education within their nations. A major objective of this conference was to facilitate a comparative study of multicultural education across nations and to discuss the implications of education and diversity in other nations for enriching theory, research, and practice in the United States.
