2018 WES-CIHE Summer Institute

Boston College | June 20-22, 2018

Innovative and Inclusive Internationalization in Higher Education

Internationalization is becoming an increasingly more commercial and elitist endeavor, primarily focused on the flow of international students, scholars, and programs around the world, to the benefit of a small and privileged subset of stakeholders.

The inequity created by this phenomenon calls for a revised, more innovative and inclusive approach to internationalization. To this end, this event intends to create a platform for students, scholars, and practitioners to discuss ways to make this happen.

Why should you attend?

This event will bring together graduate students, key international higher education scholars, and senior international officers from different parts of the world.

The 2018 WES-CIHE Summer Institute offers exciting opportunities for:

Students and young professionals to present and discuss their research on internationalization in higher education with peers and academic and professional experts.
Established scholars and practitioners to contribute to the development of the next generation of internationalization experts.
All participants to engage in substantive discussions on innovative and inclusive internationalization.

Betty Leask

Emeritus Professor
La Trobe University

Emeritus Professor Betty Leask is recognized internationally as a thought leader in the internationalization of higher education. She has researched and published extensively on the connections between theory and practice in internationalization of the curriculum, teaching and learning in higher education. In this area she has led and participated in six nationally funded Australian research projects and in 2010 was awarded an Australian government national teaching fellowship Internationalisation of the Curriculum in Action. More about the outcomes of the fellowship and related projects is available from www.ioc.global.

Betty is Editor-in Chief of the Journal of Studies in International Education, the leading international journal in the field of international higher education, and is an Honorary Visiting Researcher at the Centre for Higher Education Internationalization at the Universita Cattolica del Sacre Cuore in Milan. She was founding Chair of the International Education Association of Australia’s Internationalisation of the Curriculum Special Interest Group and is Chair of its Research Committee from 2010-2012.

Betty’s ALTC Fellowship (2010), Internationalisation of the Curriculum in Action, identified the importance of approaches to curriculum design to embed the development of intercultural competence into teaching and assessment in the disciplines as part of internationalization of the curriculum. The Fellowship identified the need for further work around the assessment of international and intercultural learning outcomes. The presence of international and domestic students in class and on campus provides rich opportunities for the development of intercultural competence which are largely ignored by many academics. By identifying and disseminating good practice in the facilitation of interaction and the assessment of the learning outcomes afforded by it in a range of disciplines this project will contribute to the broader agenda of internationalization of the curriculum in the disciplines. In another national project, Learning and Teaching Across Cultures, Betty was responsible for the development of a set of Good Practice principles in Teaching Across Cultures and a series of Quick Guides exploring these principles in practice.

Betty's most recent publication, Internationalising the Curriculum, was published by Routledge in 2015.
