Noah W. Sobe
Assistant Professor, Cultural and Educational Policy Studies
Professor Sobe has worked as a teacher at the middle school level, teaching in Poland 1994-1995 and in New York City 1996-1999. An interest in East/Central and Southeastern Europe has led to his involvement in educational development projects in Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Serbia/Montenegro. This has also led in many ways to an interest in the international circulation of pedagogies and curricula. Professor Sobe's dissertation research examined Yugoslav student and teacher travel in the 1920s and 1930s based on archival research conducted in Belgrade, Serbia-Montenegro.
On the faculty at Loyola University Chicago since Fall 2004, Professor Sobe also serves as Associate Director of the School of Education's Center for Comparative Education. He serves on the School of Education's Curriculum Committee, the University's Faculty Council, and the Faculty Oversight Committee of The Beijing Center, and has taught in the School of Education's Rome summer program. His community service activities include serving on the board of directors of the Bosnian Hercegovinian American Community Center (BHACC) and The Village Project Inc.
Professor Sobe's professional association memberships include the American Educational Research Association (AERA), the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES), and the History of Education Society (HES). He has served as a reviewer for AERA's Foucault and Education SIG; Post-Colonial Studies SIG; Division F and Division B, Section 4 and is the Chair of the CIES Globalization and Education Special Interest Group (SIG). In 2008/2009 he chaired the CIES Nominations Committee and served on the George Bereday Award Committee.
