Developing the Global Student addresses the question of how
students of higher education can emerge from their university life
better equipped to dwell more effectively, ethically, and
comfortably amidst the turmoils of a globalizing world. It does
this from a number of theoretical perspectives, illustrating the
nature of the personal and educational challenges facing the
individual student and the teaching professional. The book explores
the massive social changes wrought by the technologies and
mobilities of globalization, particularly how present and future
generations will relate to, work with and dwell alongside the
global other. It outlines a range of social, psychological and
intercultural perspectives on human tendencies to seek out comfort
among communities of similitude, and illustrates how the experience
of life in a global era requires us to transcend the limits of our
own biographies and approach university education as a matter of
knowledge deconstruction and identity reconstruction, rather than
reproduction. This book brings these considerations directly into
the daily business of higher education by drawing out the
implications for practice at a number of levels. It examines: the
implications of a globally interconnected world and individual
biographies for the design of the curriculum; a holistic view of
learning in the context of the need to develop the global self;
what the impact on non-academic practice will be if universities as
institutions are to enable these changes; ways in which the broader
student community can transform to offer an experience which is
more supportive of the development of global selves. Linking
theoretical perspectives to present a model of learning as change,
this book will be of great interest to those working in higher
education, and particularly to anyone involved in policy design and
the delivery of the student experience.
