Introduction to the Special Issue on Global Citizenship in Higher Education

This introduction to the special issue on Global Citizenship in Higher Education explores how global citizenship is understood and practiced in higher education. It reflects on the term’s multiple meanings and how it is shaped by diverse cultural, political, and educational contexts. The articles in this special issue examine how global citizenship is taught, lived, and imagined—whether through study abroad programs, language education, or creative works. Together, they show how teaching and learning can prepare people to care for and act in the wider world.
