2011 APSA Teaching and Learning Conference Track Summaries: Track: Internationalizing the Curriculum II: Study Abroad and Institutional Strategies

In: PS: political science & politics, Band 44, Heft 3, S. 662-663

Abstract

Track participants engaged in rich discussions about
"internationalization" in college and university curricula. We began
by considering contending definitions of central concepts and
educational objectives associated with internationalization.
Participants discussed different possible avenues of
internationalization, including the development of new classes, an
infusion of subjects linked to global affairs in existing classes
across the curriculum, cultural programming, and the creation of new
interdisciplinary classes. We also addressed study abroad programs,
language and cross-cultural training, and partnerships and
exchanges.
