The impact of globalisation and aggressive marketing by
universities has increased the flow of international or culturally
diverse students enrolling in postgraduate research degree programs
outside their own countries. As access to postgraduate education
widens, more local culturally diverse and Indigenous students are
also enrolling in higher degree studies. As a result, significantly
more academics now engage in intercultural supervision or
supervising students who are culturally different to themselves.
This book argues that empowering intercultural supervision can
result from more nuanced, critical and theoretically-based
understandings of time, place and knowledge. It shows how a range
of 'Southern' theories (including postcolonial, Indigenous,
feminist, social and cultural geography theories) about history,
geography and knowledge can offer fresh insights into intercultural
supervision. The author suggests that by using the conceptual tools
offered by these Southern theories, the more complex but
potentially rich aspects of intercultural supervision can be better
understood and grappled with. In particular, these theories enable
us to challenge assumptions about the universality and timelessness
of Northern knowledge, and to create space for the recovery and
further development of Southern, Eastern and Indigenous knowledges
within intercultural supervision. This book will be of value to
academic supervisors and postgraduate students, especially those
engaged in intercultural supervision, as well as researchers and
scholars in the field of higher education.
