While virtually all institutions would like to internationalize comprehensively, many have limited resources and are looking for less costly steps they can take that have a positive impact and are sustainable.

Exploring Leadership Through International Education: Civic Learning Through Study Abroad In Uganda, Rebecca Hovey, Adam Weinberg, Carol Bellamy

Rebecca Hovey

Leadership education in the 21st century cannot ignore the global risks, opportunities and realities of our interconnected world; so too international education cannot avoid its responsibility to provide the knowledge and vision needed to resolve critical issues we will face as a global community. We argue that a model of international education is needed which acknowledges the diverse global community in which institutions are based and learning takes place. In linking leadership and international education, we propose an alternative approach to both based on recognition, reciprocity and responsibility toward others.

This paper seeks to situate the emerging discourse and initiatives around global learning in an understanding of the transformation potential of …

Study Abroad, Global Knowledge And The Epistemic Communities Of Higher Education, Rebecca Hovey

Rebecca Hovey

International education and study abroad change the boundaries of who is included in the community of US higher education as more and more colleges and universities incorporate mission statements with aspirations of global citizenship. I argue that this changing frame of the community, moral purpose and appreciation of different worldviews has profound and significant implications for the academic and professional disciplines that constitute the academy.
