2014 Tri-Nations Education Conference – Call for Papers
2014 Tri-Nations Education Conference
March 29-30, 2014 @ The University of British Columbia | Vancouver, Canada
Internationalization in Education: Its Nature, Challenges and Possibilities in an Increasingly Globalized World
Internationalization in Education is being discussed and debated globally as universities compete for the best students and researchers expand their networks and collaborations across national borders. University reputation and rankings are influenced by the degree of international engagement and many institutions are responding to this imperative. Yet many concerns have been raised about the motives behind internationalization, its benefits and challenges, and the short- and long-term benefits of student and faculty mobility. This conference provides a forum for a critical examination of these and other issues arising from this powerful global phenomenon.
Join us this spring in beautiful Vancouver, Canada. Submit your proposal to present at the 2014 Tri-Nations Education Conference. Proposals will be reviewed as they are received and authors notified as soon as possible. The Call for Papers closes January 27, 2014
This conference, initiated by the Deans of Education of five partner universities in China, Australia and Canada, is intended to encourage research exchange and collaboration on topics of importance to educators from around the world, but especially of interest in the Asia-Pacific Region.
