ROBSON, Sue. Internationalization at home: internationalizing the university experience of staff and students. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2017, vol.40, n.3, pp.368-374. ISSN 1981-2582. https://doi.org/10.15448/1981-2582.2017.3.29012.
Internationalization has become a key strategic priority of many universities around the world. It is frequently regarded as a means to enhance the quality of higher education through strategic partnerships, collaborative research and teaching initiatives, for knowledge exchange and creation. Higher education internationalization often focuses primarily on the mobility of both staff and students as a means to improve their international outlook and intercultural capabilities. However, this paper argues that if universities are to become truly ‘international’, they should start ‘at home’. It considers how a review of current internationalization practices, involving educators, students, staff development and professional service units, and those in leadership positions, can help higher education institutions to move towards a more values-based and ethical approach to internationalization.
