There are strong borders and boundaries around our work which discipline us, and yet to which we may be systematically blind. History of education has had a tendency to treat its subject as naturally national and having impermeable borders. This way, working in an interdisciplinary project on a subject which constantly revealed its cross-border and transnational links, the issue of awkwardness was clearly revealed. In this paper, fragments of the project are discussed to raise questions which I consider interesting and reflexive about the work of contemporary history of education.
