In this conference the theme of internationalisation and its multiple meanings will be explored for governments, universities, further education providers, schools and other education agencies. To what degree is internationalisation merely a convenient label for the commercial exploitation of education? Does internationalisation mean the same as globalisation? How is local culture compromised or enhanced by an emphasis on international education? How is difference configured into an international social, cultural, economic and educational agenda? Is the idea of social justice subservient to economic considerations in internationalisation discourse? These and other related questions will be explored throughout this 2008 Conference.

 Boston, Massachusetts, America

The last ten years represent a significant period of reform in higher education across the globe. For example, regional governments and university consortia have undertaken projects to improve the competitiveness and overall 'quality' of higher education systems (e.g. the European Higher Education Area, ASEAN University Network), national governments and higher education institutions are renewing investment in marketing strategies to attract fee-paying international students, strategic policy shifts have taken place to use universities as magnets to recruit high-skill labour and researchers, and new expectations are placed on the academy to respond to changing political economies (e.g., calls toward more policy-oriented or community-based research).  For more information on the conference you may go to: http://www.aag.org/
