PISA, Policy and the OECD

Dr Steven Lewis is an Australian Research Council (ARC) DECRA Fellow at the Education Governance and Policy group within the Research for Educational Impact Centre of Deakin University. His current research interests are concerned with new modes and forms of educational accountability and data infrastructures; the education policy work of the OECD and other 'non-state' actors and organisations; and how these developments help shape the understanding and practice of schooling. He has established himself as a leading global expert on the education policy work of the OECD, and has helped further the use of spatial and relational thinking to inform generative new approaches to the study of global educational policymaking and governance.
