Research Seminar: Dr. Darla Deardorff
The field of international higher education has changed dramatically in recent years given the impact of globalization, the economy and technology. No longer is international higher education solely about the mobility of students. What are the trends in this field and what are the issues to consider in the future? Drawing on her recently completed work on The Sage Handbook of International Higher Education (Sage, 2012), Dr. Darla Deardorff of Duke University in Durham North Carolina, USA, will explore current trends and issues in international higher education in Trends and Issues in International Higher Education
the US and beyond.
