Postsecondary Teaching and Learning department chair Amy Lee and Research Associate Rhiannon Williams have secured a contract with Sense Press to produce an edited volume on intercultural pedagogy. The volume is titled Internationalizing Undergraduate Education: Critical Conversations for 21st Century Practitioners, and intends to support faculty development and institutional capacity to enact policies, supportive structures, and pedagogy that support mindful intercultural learning.
The volume provides theory, pedagogy, and case studies drawn from authentic sites of practice. By their nature, authentic sites of practice are unpredictable and dynamic, providing a context for critical reflection on obstacles, challenges, and the dissonance that occur between theoretical models and the practices for implementation in sites of practice. Addressing the tensions and complexities of varying viewpoints and experiences with internationalization work will challenge readers to think critically about the implications of individual practice as well as unit and institutional structures and support in relation to desired internationalization goals.
