The American Council on Education (ACE) defines campus internationalization as “a strategic, coordinated process that seeks to align and integrate policies, programs, and initiatives to position colleges and universities as more globally oriented and internationally connected institutions”. However, what this means in practice and where it falls within the evolving priorities and structures of Higher Education Institutions (HEI’s) remains a deeply contested debate. This course will examine the underlying ideologies, mandates, and values behind the recent push for campus internationalization. As a part of the Ethnotgraphy of the University Initiative, this course will use the UIUC campus as a site for exploring the complexities, obstacles and opportunities of internationalization.
