Internationalization in Action (eBook, ePUB)

Leveraging Diversity and Inclusion in Globalized Classrooms

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Over the past few decades, there have been growing concerns about ways in which diversity and internationalization converge and diverge with one another across different types of educational institutions. This edited volume is one of the first books to investigate meaningful ways of integrating compe-ting goals between internationalization and diversification within the social fabric of campus life and beyond. Each chapter is a call to action that aims to leverage diversity for broader collaboration in higher education institutions in the U.S. and other sociocultural contexts, while providing insights into best practices in navigating diversity through strategic action plans. Each author challenges issues relating to the diversity efforts of internationalization across disciplinary, cultural and national boundaries as well as strategies to strengthen the campus communities' commitment to diversity and inclusion.

In addition to its theoretical depth, as well as its cultural and disciplinary breadth, this book addresses issues relevant to many different stakeholders, and hence, potential readers in diverse and international settings. This book is of particular importance to those associated with globally mobile popula-tions, which include but are not limited to, academic faculty, higher education professionals as well as those in administrative positions and policy makers who wish to develop a critical perspective on the current practices on inter-nationalization to further their international efforts.

Rezensionen

"Driven by the forces of globalization, faculty in higher education institutions today are met with the challenges brought about by the forces of internationalization and diversification. This exciting new collection of teacher action research Internationalization in Action: Leveraging Diversity and Inclusion in Globalized Classrooms comprises a collection of pedagogical approaches across disciplines to integrate goals of diversity, collaboration, and internationalization into these globalized institutes of higher learning. These teacher action research studies delve into critical issues related to the internationalization of higher education and unlock potentialities in the classroom, for example, through exploring the integration of the transcultural/translingual experiences of multilingual learners in the shaping of the curriculum and through the power of pedagogical paradigm shifts, such as the integration of translanguaging in the classroom. This is a must read for educators in higher education!"-Cynthia S. Wiseman, Associate Professor, Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York
