New definition of Internationalisation of higher education developed by Dr. Savo Heleta and Dr. Samia Chase
Internationalisation of higher education is a critical and comparative process of the study of the world and its complexities, past and present inequalities and injustices, and possibilities for a more equitable and just future for all. Through teaching. learning, research and engagement. Internationalisation fosters epistemic plurality and integrates critical. antiracist and anti-hegemonic learning about the world from diverse global perspectives to enhance the quality and relevance of education.
