ABSTRACT Action follows from being. One’s way of doing and understanding comparative education follows from one’s being. It springs from the soul. Using [Kim, T., and R. Brooks’ (2013). “Internationalisation, Mobile Academics, and Knowledge Creation in Universities: A Comparative Analysis.” SRHE Research Award (2011/12) Final Report] framework on the relationship between academic mobility and knowledge creation, I will reflect here on my personal and intellectual journey and how it has shaped my work on comparative histories of the field of comparative education. As this article is written, I am commencing a new transition in my professional life, this time in Japan. I am reflecting on a possible new research agenda building on my past work and the new panorama opened from my new vantage point in the field.

比较教育的比较史：个人旅程

摘要 行动源于存在。一个人做和理解比较教育的方式是从一个人的存在出发的。它源于灵魂。使用 [Kim, T., and R. Brooks' (2013)。“大学中的国际化、移动学术和知识创造：比较分析。” SRHE 研究奖 (2011/12) Final Report] 关于学术流动性和知识创造之间关系的框架，我将在此反思我的个人和智力之旅，以及它如何影响我在比较教育领域的比较历史方面的工作。在撰写本文时，我开始了职业生涯的新转变，这次是在日本。我正在思考基于我过去工作的可能的新研究议程，以及从我在该领域的新有利位置打开的新全景。
