This article discusses recent research in transnational history of education with an emphasis on the categories that lay at the core of the way in which objects of study are constructed. Oriented by the history of concepts and historical semantics, we first trace the emergence the field of transnational history of education in the confluence of the historically-formed concept of international education and of the transnational research project in historical sciences. We then present an overview of recent trends in this particular field, considering both study areas and theoretical and methodological approaches. We argue that the historical construction of the transnational has an influence in the ways in which we formulate our research questions, and launch an invitation to continue this self-reflexivity into other concepts and categories of the history of education.

Keywords : History of education; Transnational history; International education; History of concepts; Cultural transfer.
