The Global: Implications for Research and the Curriculum

My colleague at Brandeis University sent a very interesting posts to several NAFSA network discussions forums and I thought readers might find the links very interesting in their campus internationalization efforts and/or research efforts in this area. Following is a cut and past summary of his post:


Last April, Brandeis University hosted a symposium called "The Global: Implications for Research and the Curriculum," geared for faculty across Brandeis’ schools. The symposium was a two-day conversation on the international dimensions of higher education.


While some of the discussion was specific to Brandeis, the model may be useful as you think about faculty engagement in internationalization.
