Gustavo E. Fischman is professor of educational policy and comparative education at the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Arizona State University. Dr. Fischman focuses his work on understanding and improving the processes of knowledge-production and exchange between scholars, educators, activists, practitioners, administrators, media workers, policymakers, and the broader public. He is currently leading two research projects. The first project focuses on issues of sustainability education and the uses (and misuses) of global learning metrics and large-scale assessments in educational reform projects. The second project explores systems reforms to improve assessment practices in higher education and organizational strategies for mobilizing research knowledge. Dr. Fischman has authored more than 150 academic publications as well as numerous commentaries and interviews. He has been a visiting scholar in several graduate programs in Europe and Latin America. Dr. Fischman has received many awards and appointments, including selected as a New Century Fulbright scholar (2010), fellow of the International Academy of Education, (2013) and fellow of the American Educational Research Association (2015)and appointed to the W. T. Fulbright Senior Scholar roster (2017). He is also the chair of the International Relations Committee at AERA and is the ad-honorem coordinator of the program of internationalization of the Pontificia Universidade Católica de Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). In addition to his service on numerous editorial boards, he is the editor of Education Review, consulting editor of Education Policy Analysis Archives, and a co-editor of the 2018 and 2020 Review of Research in Education (AERA). Among his best-known books are Imagining Teachers: Rethinking Teacher Education and Gender, Dumb Ideas Won't Create Smart Kids co-authored with Eric M. Haas, and Made in Latin America: Open Access, Scholarly Journals, and Regional Innovations co-edited with Juan P. Alperin.
The current focus of my research agenda is the analysis of the changes and continuities in the development, provision, administration, and regulation of educational services, in South-America and North-America. I am working on two related projects in this area. First, I’m working on a large survey study (1700 participants) to comprehend and explain how people understand education quality and how those understandings influence public education policy. Second, I submited the research proposal It takes a Valley! Leveraging Sustainability Education in the Phoenix Metro Area. I am the PI of this project which is a collaboration between CASGE and a group of faculty at the School of Sustainability. The goals of this project are pilot cross-sectoral collaborations to make sustainability education accessible and impactful for all youths in the Valley and set the basis for a Joint Center for Sustainability Education.
