2. 2014 Midwestern Regional Conference of the Comparative and International Education Society
Theme: Reimagining Internationalization: Critical Dialogues on Global Dimensions of Education
When: October 10 – 11, 2014
Where: Indiana University, Bloomington
Conference Highlights:
  • Three half-day methodology workshops on Friday

  • Keynote Speaker: Frances Vavrus, University of Minnesota
In an increasingly interconnected world, internationalization is a phenomenon affecting every level of learning. While internationalization efforts appear to offer many benefits, these efforts and the way in which they are studied need to be critically examined: Do these efforts perpetuate or break down structural, global inequalities? Who benefits? Who is excluded? What assumptions underlie the concept of internationalization?
This theme will guide conference participants, including researchers, graduate students, and representatives of global institutions, civil society, and education practitioners, to reimagine the internationalization of education and inspire new conversations about inequality, development, policy, and methods as they relate to internationalization.
