Diverse Perspectives on Creating a Fairer Society
Editors: Emnet Tadesse Woldegioris and Cheryl Qiumei Yu
Embarking on a journey to Africa, Southeast Asia, South America and beyond, Critical Reflections on the Internationalization of Higher Education in the Global South explores how postcolonial structures and global power dynamics are shaping the internationalization of higher education.
Challenging the Eurocentric status quo that has long dominated the discourse on internationalization, this edited collection goes beyond mere discussions of student mobility to address the multifaceted potential that internationalization holds, ranging from academic partnerships and collaborative research to scholarly publications. Drawing from case studies across the Global South, contributors interrogate not only conventional paradigms, but also pose vital questions. How can institutions in these regions partake equitably in the global exchange of knowledge? What steps can be taken to foster genuine and balanced collaborations between the Global South and North? As a compelling call to action, this research also examines how internationalization can be a transformative force for the Sustainable Development Goals, breaking down traditional hierarchies and embracing a decolonized future for higher education.
If you are involved in academia, policy-making or are simply curious about the complex features of internationalization in the Global South, this work is your roadmap to deeper, more critical reflections on the internationalization of higher education.
