Analysis of two decades of aid flows to higher education in Palestine
This research critically analyses foreign aid flows to higher education in Palestine during 2002–2022, with the aim of elucidating historical trends, patterns and donor priorities. The study systematically examines the types and volumes of aid allocated to higher education by donors reporting official development assistance to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. By exploring these aid dynamics, the research provides import…
Scienticide in Gaza
Scientific knowledge production functions as a foundational enabling capability through which societies expand and sustain social, economic, and political development. In Gaza, this capability has been systematically undermined through the Israeli occupation that has targeted scientific actors, institutions, and knowledge systems, a pattern this article conceptualises as scienticide. Drawing on human development and capability perspectives, it ar…
The neglect of higher education in conflict settings
Higher education is a frequent casualty of violent conflict. Rebuilding the sector is key for its ability to provide quality education, conduct research and contribute to societal recovery and development. While the existing literature points to the neglect of higher education in conflict-affected countries, there is limited research that critically unpacks aid flows to higher education in these settings. Using the aid flows data from bilateral a…

Introducing the special issue on ‘Supporting and Learning from Universities in Times of Conflict’, this article examines the significance of the university as a social, political, and epistemic space in contexts of conflict and post-conflict recovery. It highlights the ongoing neglect of universities in times of conflict, war, and oppression across the fields of international development, international higher education, Education in Emergencies, …

Do Donors Provide Foreign Aid Based on Needs? An Analysis of Funding Flows to Higher Education During the Implementation of the SDGs
A key objective of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to leave no one behind and support least developed and other fragile countries first. The same is an objective of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) group of bilateral donors. This study focuses on higher education and analyzes if DAC donors follow their commitment to support countries in need of assistance through the provision of foreign aid. Using the Organisation for Econo…

Critical Review of the Policy Framework for Internationalisation of Higher Education in South Africa
In 2019, the South African government approved the Department of Higher Education and Training's (DHET) Policy Framework for Internationalisation of Higher Education in South Africa. The framework provides policy guidelines universities will need to follow when developing institutional internationalisation policies. Using critical discourse analysis, this review posits that the DHET missed an opportunity to rethink internationalisation in line wi…
Towards More Sustainable, Equitable and Just Internationalisation Practices
In this article, we offer a critical perspective on the interrelationship between internationalisation and sustainability, particularly regarding the contribution higher education internationalisation practices reliant on mobility have made to climate degradation. Specifically, we focus on carbon emissions linked to air travel in the context of in-person internationalisation conferences. Drawing on decolonial approaches and lived realities in the…
Rethinking and redefining internationalisation of higher education in South Africa using a decolonial lens
Over the past few decades, internationalisation of higher education in South Africa has been framed and conceptualised based on the dominant approaches, concepts and definitions from the global North. Using a decolonial lens, we focus on how internationalisation is defined in South Africa. This is important as definitions influence strategic directions, policies and priorities of higher education systems and institutions. We show that replication…

Improving the contribution of foreign voluntourists in South Africa
The market for voluntourism from the Western world to developing countries is on the rise. Voluntourists are mainly young people who combine travel with volunteering in educational, early childhood development, environmental or other projects. Hence, it is of outmost importance to assess and analyse the contribution of voluntourists to the projects, and especially to the development and progress of the children they work with. This research asses…
Decolonizing Knowledge in South Africa
The colonial and apartheid knowledge systems and Eurocentrism have not been sufficiently questioned, let alone transformed, during the first two decades of democracy in South Africa. The movement to decolonize higher education was launched by students in 2015. The fact that the students are at the forefront of the campaign for decolonization and not the university leaders, academics, and administrators tells a lot about the state of higher educat…
Decolonisation of higher education
Since the end of the oppressive and racist apartheid system in 1994, epistemologies and knowledge systems at most South African universities have not considerably changed; they remain rooted in colonial, apartheid and Western worldviews and epistemological traditions. The curriculum remains largely Eurocentric and continues to reinforce white and Western dominance and privilege. This article traces the roots of Eurocentrism and epistemic violence…
