Patricia Gaviria chaired the panel discussion ‘Methodological and research developments in comparative education’ and presented her paper entitled From contextual comparison methodology to methods: Doing research in Nunavut and Greenland at the 56th Annual Conference of the Comparative and international Education Society (CIES) in April. In this paper she discusses how contexts shape methods from the moment the literature is chosen to the time findings are written. The presentation was a reflection of her research: Self-determination and Postsecondary Education: The Inuit in Nunavut and Greenland. Under the supervision of Creso Sá, this research receives support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
