Internationally recognized for being one of the first authors to define the internationalization of Higher Education theoretically, Jane Knight reflects on this definition after 25 years. In this interview, she also talks about the diversity of institutions in the educational scenario that develops internationalization programs, with particular attention to the international program and provider mobility (IPPM). She highlights as well some relevant and inspiring experiences, such as the one she promoted in the African continent. Finally, she reflects on some challenges of research in internationalization, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary investigations based on evidence on different dimensions of Higher Education.

Covid-19, which emerged in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019 and has turned into a pandemic in a short time, has brought many social problems. It is clear that it will also have some short and long term effects in the field of higher education. Based on the recent publications, the current study aims to discuss what these effects will be in different dimensions of higher education. However, due to the difficulties of covering so many different pandemic-related developments within a single study, the current study focuses more on the effects of the Covid-19 process on teaching, research and internationalization in higher education. Based on the recent discussions on these focal themes, recommendations are made specifically for the Turkish higher education system.

Development Of Students

Although assuming new role nowadays, the internationalization of higher education is one of the integral aspects of the organization of the university in its origin. As a complex phenomenon (MOROSINI, 2006), it has demanded an explanation of its conception and planning from the Higher Education Institutions (HEI). Moreover, it demands consistent goals and strategies that meet the institutional particularities with the purpose of promoting and valuing the development of students, teachers, researchers and administrative staff. If, on the one hand, we currently see the presence of internationalization in a large number of universities, on the other, we see the need to reflect on its meaning, assumptions, policies, actions and impacts, be it in the HEI, or at the national and international level. Considering this scenario, the objective of this special issue entitled “Internationalization in higher education: assumptions, meanings and impacts”, was to provide space for analysis and dissemination of the views on internationalization that are being processed, in contemporary times, at the institutional, national and international levels. This special issue is composed of a set of nine articles and one interview, with a wide range of reflections on the topic at hand. The variety of analyses of the texts can also be observed in the diversity of institutions and regions in which the authors work both in Brazil and abroad. In this sense, the articles in this special issue represent an important contribution to the field of Higher Education and, especially, to the scholars of internationalization.

The United States is in a bind. On the one hand, we need millions of additional citizens with at least one year of successful post-secondary experience to adapt to the knowledge economy. Both the Gates and Lumina Foundations, and our President, have championed this goal in different ways. On the other hand, we have a post-secondary system that is trapped between rising costs and stagnant effectiveness, seemingly unable to respond effectively to this challenge. This paper analyzes several aspects of this problem, describes changes in the society that create the basis for solutions, and offers several examples from Kaplan University of emerging practice that suggests what good practice might look like in a world where quality-assured mass higher education is the norm.
