“An important and rigorous academic work that makes a valuable and unique contribution to the evolution of the broader internationalisation agenda in higher education institutions across the world.”—UNIVERSITY WORLD NEWS, May 2015
Contributes much needed insights into current curricula development for internationalisation and detail the processes involved in that development … Green and Whitsed are to be congratulated on producing this collection of case studies. Their book illustrates well that disciplines are not impervious to change but are composed of individual academics, situated within specific complex environments, who, in the end, are the ones who internationalise their curriculum. Academics nowadays have to engage strategically with institutional policies and governance structures as well as those of their disciplines and professions. Curriculum innovation takes time and requires the willingness of academics to deconstruct and reflect on their present knowledges and practices. This book illustrates the continuing development of IoC and in conclusion the editors invite us to continue our journey into IoC by ‘imagin[ing] the possible’.”—HERDSA REVIEW OF HIGHER EDUCATION
"This book however fails, as admitted by the editors, to provide a complete global perspective as most of its contributions are dominated by the European and Anglophone perspectives. Furthermore, the strength of the narrative approach with its rich in-depth personal accounts can be viewed from another angle as rather subjective, descriptive and contextually dependent. The practicality of the book is thus left to each individual reader to find echoes of their own struggles with internationalization and inspiration to continue championing for its cause. Given these limitations, the contributing authors do succeed in bringing internationalization to life with their narratives and pushing the reader to expand their imagination to encompass all the shapes and forms an internationalized curriculum may take.
