Abstract
This paper documents and discusses the lack of reference by U.S. educational researchers to the work of noted Swedish social scientist and educational researcher, Torsten Husen. The paucity of U.S. textbook or journal citations of Husen's writings and research is interpreted as an example of “cultural ethnocentrism” and “academic imperialism” in U.S. educational and psychological research. Crosscultural perspectives, interdisciplinary analyses, and “global learning” are proposed as methods of overcoming the methodological parochialism, overspecialization, and international fragmentation Husen describes as characteristic of much educational and social scientific research.
