Internationalisation at Home:Critical Frameworks for Inclusive Global Learning

In this comprehensive exploration of Internationalisation at Home (IaH), Fristrup and Sonne (Eds.) assemble diverse scholarly perspectives that interrogate conventional paradigms of international education. Moving beyond mobility-centric approaches, this anthology examines how institutions can cultivate global consciousness through inclusive pedagogical strategies that recognise and respond to multidimensional identities, abilities, and socio-political contexts. The anthology’s contributions illuminate how IaH initiatives navigate complex tensions between global interconnectedness and local specificity, between institutional standardisation and cultural plurality, and between neoliberal instrumentalism and emancipatory pedagogies. Through case studies spanning multiple geographical contexts—from Glasgow’s award systems to Indonesia’s IISMA programme and Nordic heritage institutions—the volume demonstrates how IaH manifests in diverse institutional settings while responding to specific educational, cultural, and political realities. This anthology advances the theoretical understanding of IaH as a multidimensional phenomenon that necessitates engagement with complex questions of access, representation, and democratic participation. By foregrounding critical perspectives on inclusion, cultural heritage, and institutional transformation, the collection offers conceptual tools and practical strategies for developing more equitable approaches to global learning that transcend geographical, cultural, and ability-based boundaries.
