Abstract:

This book offers a multi-dimensional analysis of the experiences of
faculty, students, and staff at a Canadian university that emphasizes
international education, providing an ethnographic lens for
understanding globalization and internationalization of higher
education on a wider, global scale.
The collaborative work of multiple authors based in different
departments and roles within the university offers a holistic picture
of current international education policies and practices, and how
they coalesce to shape the experiences of all affected stakeholders.
The book focuses on questions of cultural difference and the
development of intercultural capital and highlights engagement with
English dominance, language matters and multilingualism in everyday
experiences and pedagogical practices in the institution. The
contributors address implications for attending to linguistic and
cultural diversity in the policies and practices of an Anglo-dominant
university that are applicable to similar contexts worldwide.
As a self-study from a reputed university, the book provides valuable
insights for higher education program leaders and decision makers to
strategically rethink the value and quality of the
internationalization activities they engage in, their scholarship and
creative activities, and, above all, their commitment to ethical
internationalization.
