Disrupting internationalisation of the curriculum in Latin America
Rethinking internationalization of higher education for society from an outside-in perspective
Amid increasing criticism of the internationalization of higher education (IoHE) for its Anglo-centric tendencies, there has been discussion of the need to reconsider the rationales for and approaches to IoHE. Specifically it has been argued that there is an urgent need to focus IOHE more sharply on addressing the many complex and persistent issues faced by local and global communities. As part of the discussion, a new model of IoHE, ‘internation…
Global Social Responsibility and the Internationalisation of Higher Education for Society
In this article, we argue that there is an urgent need to align internationalisation and university social responsibility agendas through the construct of Internationalisation of Higher Education for Society. The service or “third mission” of higher education institutions - to contribute to the social, economic, and cultural development of communities - has long been a core function of universities alongside teaching and research. However, the se…
Reimagining Internationalization for Society
To reimagine means, literally, to reassess, rethink, and recreate. It implies a need for radical change and innovation. In this special issue, authors explore the possibilities of connecting internationalization to society, for the benefit of society. Hitherto, much of the literature published on internationalization has been essentially inward looking, focused on how students and institutions experience internationalization and how they benefit,…
Embracing the possibilities of disruption
In this essay, I argue that the disruption to ‘business as usual’ caused by COVID-19 should be embraced as an opportunity to address some of the pernicious and inequitable, albeit unintentional, consequences of existing approaches to internationalization
Internationalizing the Curriculum
The drive to internationalize higher education has seen the focus shift in recent years towards its defining element, the curriculum. As the point of connection between broader institutional strategies and the student experience, the curriculum plays a key role in the success or failure of the internationalization agenda. Yet despite much debate, the role and power of curriculum internationalization is often unappreciated. This has meant that cri…
Comparing internationalisation of the curriculum in action across disciplines
Internationalisation and internationalisation of the curriculum in higher education are not new concepts, but they are much debated and diversely interpreted. Studies of the higher education curriculum have been scarce. Studies of internationalisation of the curriculum in higher education are even rarer and, with a few exceptions, are focused on a single institution and/or a single discipline. This paper presents a conceptual framework for intern…
Moving beyond ‘wishing and hoping’
There is clear evidence from a number of studies conducted over the last decade that the student experience of internationalisation in universities around the world can be both positive and negative. In this paper we explore these polarised views of internationalisation as they are recorded in the literature. We argue there is evidence of too much emphasis on ‘wishing and hoping’ that benefits will flow from cultural diversity on campus and not e…
Using Formal and Informal Curricula to Improve Interactions Between Home and International Students
This article argues that improved interactions between home and international students are dependant on the way we use both the formal and the informal curricula to encourage and reward intercultural engagement. It draws on the results of several research studies to present some strategies for facilitating meaningful interaction between students from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds in and out of the classroom. Principles and guideli…
Plagiarism, cultural diversity and metaphor—implications for academic staff development
Plagiarism is a complex, culturally loaded concept which causes much anxiety for both academics and students. Exactly what constitutes plagiarism is dependent on a number of contextual factors. Despite the difficulties associated with defining and detecting plagiarism, it is said to be on the increase, and students from 'other cultures' are frequently highlighted as being perpetrators of this crime against the academic community of enlightened We…
