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.
