Abstract
Few scholars working in the field of comparative education have understood the importance of social theory as well as did Rolland G. Paulston. His general interest in social theory and his focus upon the importance of social mapping more specifically, addressed a number of conundrums scholars within the comparative education field commonly confront. But the contributions Paulston made in that area need to be seen within his larger body of work that included important empirical studies too.
