Ensuring that higher education students are fully prepared for
lives as global citizens is a pressing concern in the contemporary
world. This book draws on insights from cosmopolitan thought to
identify how people from different backgrounds can find common
ground. By applying cosmopolitan insights to higher education
practice, Sarah Richardson charts how students can be given the
opportunity to experience a truly international education, which
emphasises deep cultural exchange rather than mere transactional
contact. Written in an engaging and accessible style, the author
uses empirical evidence to show that simply studying alongside
those different to themselves or studying overseas are inadequate
in preparing students to lead the diverse societies of tomorrow.
Instead, the book calls for a coherent approach to higher education
that properly prepares students to lead global lives. Chapters
highlight a number of key aspects of higher education practice,
from curriculum to pedagogy, to educator skills to assessment, and
demonstrate how these can be reconsidered to give students the
opportunity to gain cosmopolitan attributes during their higher
education. Cosmopolitan Learning for a Global Era will be of great
interest to researchers, scholars and postgraduate students, with a
particular focus on cosmopolitan thought, international education
and higher education more broadly, as well as university educators
and leaders across a wide range of disciplinary areas.
