In this conference the theme of internationalisation and its multiple meanings will be explored for governments, universities, further education providers, schools and other education agencies. To what degree is internationalisation merely a convenient label for the commercial exploitation of education? Does internationalisation mean the same as globalisation? How is local culture compromised or enhanced by an emphasis on international education? How is difference configured into an international social, cultural, economic and educational agenda? Is the idea of social justice subservient to economic considerations in internationalisation discourse? These and other related questions will be explored throughout this 2008 Conference.
