Reviews

“Critical Internationalization of Higher Education makes a valuable contribution by examining how contextual factors such as the macroeconomy, organisational priorities, and knowledge creation practices shape the nature and potential of higher education internationalisation.” Kalyani Unkule, O.P. Jindal Global University, India. “At a time of challenge for international higher education, this timely edited volume advances ethical global engagement through critical internationalization and organizational theories. The authors emphasize the need for leaders and practitioners to recommit to educational aims, tempering market forces while critiquing traditional approaches.” Kumari Beck, Simon Fraser University, Canada. “The contributing authors bring nuanced and power-informed analyses to the internationalization of research, teaching, service, governance, evaluation, and leadership. In doing so, they draw readers’ attention to the enduring inequities that characterize this work and identify both barriers and pathways to meaningful transformation. They also offer generative frameworks and examples of ‘next practices’ for those engaged in this work.” Sharon Stein, University of British Columbia, Canada.
