Profile

Professor Trevor Corner

Trevor Corner is Reader in Education and Emeritus Professor of Comparative and International Education.

After school teaching in London and Edinburgh, my initial postgraduate research was in European systems of education and equivalences of international qualifications.

Following the growth of international and multicultural research across the UK, I was instrumental in developing new international master programmes in this field and published a number of texts (Education in Multicultural Societies/ Croom Helm: The Space Between Words/ Tilburg Press).

Further work in international Adult Education lead to Learning Opportunities for Adults /Croom Helm and more recently studies in Lifelong Learning in general, and particularly opportunities for mental health users across Europe.

I have taught at several universities in the UK (Edinburgh, Glasgow, Surrey, Middlesex) and in Europe (Copenhagen) and North America (Ann Arbor, Victoria) offering courses at masters level for teachers interested in international developments.

I have worked with a range of learned societies and served on the board of UK, European and world-wide comparative and international education societies.

Supervision of doctoral students from a wide range of national backgrounds has enabled me to deepen my knowledge and experience of educational practice.

Current interests are changes in international higher education in Europe and Africa, and the education of dispersed minorities in Europe.
