abstract = "The comparative study of social administration and welfare states has a tradition stretching back to the 1960s but the internationalisation of social policy study, the development of the sub-field of Global Social Policy and their integration into degree level curricula are much more recent phenomena. This chapter introduces the edited collection{\textquoteright}s aims to provide a guide for academics embarking on, or revisiting teaching in comparative, international and global social policy as well as those who are interested in introducing their students to ideas beyond national boundaries, or who in incorporating social policy perspectives into more generalised teaching. The chapter summarises develoments in the field, outlines the chapter contents and considers the issues raised by social policy{\textquoteright}s disciplinary status. It highlights the ways in which the chapters identify the core knowledge needed to facilitate student learning and the development of understanding, and draw from the teaching experience of the authors. This includes developments at the institutional and programmatic level as well as disciplinary evolution, decolonisation of curricula and descriptions of pedagogies that succeed in enabling student engagement.",
