Description:

This interactive session invites space to consider critical internationalization as a possible way toward Internationalization otherwise (Stein, 2021). The session will begin with an overview of the nuanced but important differences between internationalization and critical internationalization and then move into a reflective discussion around how we see our work and ourselves in this space. 

The session will conclude with a collaborative activity which explores limits and opportunities of critical internationalization within one’s work and one’s lived experience.
