Abstract
I am an outsider in some sense and an insider in a different sense as I do not live in Canada and I am not profoundly familiar with its culture, history, geography and economy. Yet, I share some theoretical background and academic knowledge with many of the Canadian scholars who contributed to this volume. Thus, even though educational administration as a field of study is contextualized, some of our knowledge is universal while some other is local and culturally embedded.
