Internationalisation of the Curriculum In Context explores disciplinary approaches to and interpretations of internationalisation of the curriculum. Based on an extensive literature review and case studies from a range of national, institutional and disciplinary contexts, this book explores new ground and provides insights into internationalisation of the curriculum in action in the 21st century world. It proposes a framework for internationalisation of the curriculum that situates it within multiple contexts and facilitates an exploration of its many dimensions. It identifies the blockers and enablers to internationalisation of the curriculum within different contexts and provides invaluable guidance to university managers, academic staff, professional development lecturers and support workers as well as students and scholars interested in advancing theory and practice in this important area.

Betty Leask is Professor of Internationalization and Pro Vice-Chancellor Teaching and Learning at La Trobe University, Melbourne, where she leads curriculum innovation and improvement across the institution. She is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Studies in International Education and Honorary Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Higher Education Internationalisation, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan.
