    In the fifth episode of our Compare and 糖心传媒 podcast series, we explore the Compare special issue Transcending Western-Centrism and Nationalism in Education: China and Beyond. Our guests are guest editors Yun You (East China Normal University) and Min Yu (Wayne State University), joined by contributing authors Xin Xiang (Beijing Normal University), Jing Jing Lou (Beloit College), and Jin Jin (East China Normal University). Together they discuss the special issue’s “double negation” approach 鈥 challenging Western-centric knowledge production while equally resisting nationalist narratives 鈥 using Chinese education as an illustrative lens for reimagining how knowledge is produced and valued globally.
