SEE Theme 1–The Internationalization of Education (original) (raw)

Universities and Colleges across Canada are increasingly adopting internationalization as a key educational goal . While national studies maintain the rhetoric of "strong academic rationales" governing internationalization in Canadian higher education institutions (AUCC, 2007, p.5), there has been little critical appraisal of values, policies and practices that promote internationalization, and no systematic work within Faculties of Education in relation to its sustainability and ecologies of practice. As part of the broader SEE goals, our research team set out to develop an approach that could assess the educational sustainability of internationalization within a Faculty of Education.
