DESCRIPTION:Recent work on ‘policy mobilities’ in urban and economic g
 eography has centered on the transnational movement of policies\, or in ot
 her words the movements and mutations of policy from one place to others\,
  including in relation to global economic policy pressures. Increasingly t
 here has also been discussion of the regional movements of policies\, incl
 uding how policies are constituted or adapted locally in relation to the s
 pecifics of place. Empirical studies have traced the mobilities and immobi
 lities of policies in relation to the effects of policy actors\, including
  policy entrepreneurs and activists\; networks and agencies\; technology\,
  reports\, and other material components of policy assemblages\; and addit
 ional influences on whether and how policy develops\, moves\, or transform
 s across sites. Connecting these considerations to trajectories of educati
 on policy research\, such as those focused on policy transfer and policy e
 nactment\, this presentation will highlight developing directions for crit
 ical policy studies in education.  \n\n*Dr Marcia McKenzie* is a Professor
