Launched in April 2023, the Asian Education Podcast is a forum dedicated to discussing research on education and related social issues in Asian contexts. It also seeks to provide Asian perspectives on global debates over educational policy and practice. Hosted by Edward Vickers, Yoko Mochizuki, and Gairanlu Pamei, the Asian Education Podcast is produced by the UNESCO Chair on Education for Peace, Social Justice and Global Citizenship at Kyushu University, Japan, in association with the Comparative Education Society of Asia (CESA).
