Intelligent Internationalization: The Shape of Things to Come
|
| |
In 2015, Laura Rumbley put forward the notion that higher education—in a highly complex, globally interdependent world—would be wise to commit to an agenda of "intelligent internationalization" (I2). I2 turns on the notion that "the development of a thoughtful alliance between the research, practitioner, and policy communities," in tandem with decision makers in leadership roles, is essential for systems and institutions of higher education seeking sustained relevance and vitality through their internationalization efforts. These issues are addressed in this book which builds on a 2018 Symposium on Intelligent Internationalization.
