This course introduces students to the many and varied ways education systems and educational institutions ‘do’ internationalization. The main current and emerging trends will be presented. The students will learn to discuss the pros and cons of internationalization and its challenges for all the actors involved. The students will also learn to analyse successful practice in relation to intercultural practices in the context of internationalization of education. Discussions of policies from around the world will strengthen the students’ analytical framework.
Most of the reading materials are research-based and/or theoretically driven articles and/or book chapters. Each class meeting includes required and optional reading assignments (the assignments listed under a particular class meeting must be read in advance of that class meeting). Both required and optional readings will be provided to students in the form of pdf files during the first class meeting.
