Navigating plurilingual identity in a monolingual, English-speaking university
The Gender of Science
This paper presents a pedagogical intervention targeted at secondary school students developed by two researchers in physics. The project seeks to narrow the gender gap in STEM fields by fostering students’ critical awareness of gender stereotypes and roles, helping them to recognize the influence that gender has on their educational choices and professional aspirations. Unlike other orientation programs, here STEM subjects are not the explicit c…
Intercultural Relationships in an Internationalised Undergraduate Classroom
Higher education institutions aspire to integrate international and intercultural dimensions. Yet, internationalisation is too often confined to policies and rankings, overlooking the actual experiences of students. This study investigates how in‐class intercultural relationships influence transcultural competence within a multi‐dimensionally internationalised undergraduate degree in Barcelona. Focusing on 23 first‐year students, the study adopts…

Becoming “Global” in Higher Education
This article focuses on the discursive construction of a "global persona" made by undergraduates ending an internationalised degree.By means of two case studies, we analyse their positioning regarding the university's diverse definitions of "globality" and "global personae" as they emerge in institutional webpages.We look into how students' (mis)alignments with those definitions are shaped by academic expectations and choices, and the material co…
Measuring international posture at an internationalised university in Barcelona
This study investigates local first-year undergraduates’ international posture (Yashima, Citation2002, Citation2009) when starting studies at an internationalised university in the multicultural and multilingual context of Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain). We aimed, first, to explore the configuration of the international posture measurement model (Yashima, Citation2009) in a European university and to contrast it with Yashima’s (Citation2009) model …
Exploring transcultural competence in the internationalised university classroom
This mixed-methods study explores whether undergraduates in a multilingual, multicultural university – and more specifically in a multi-dimensionally internationalised classroom – manifest transcultural competence when starting university studies. The article precisely focuses on the role of intercultural friendships and personal and family plurilingualism in the construction of an identity that reveals such competence, namely, a transcultural id…
Impact of plurilingualism and previous intercultural experience on undergraduates’ intercultural sensitivity at the start of university studies
This study investigates first-year undergraduates when starting their studies in a highly internationalised public university settled in a multicultural and multilingual European city. It focuses on to what extent individual differences as regards plurilingualism and previous intercultural experience are related to a higher or lower degree of Intercultural Sensitivity (IS), in the five dimensions of this construct (Chen and Starosta 2000). 881 st…
