Exploratory Workshop
International Education:
Emergences and Future Possibilities
Current international education policies
are being scrutinised for its complicity in
perpetuating the commodification of education, especially higher education, and
the asymmetrical power relationships it
produces imitating colonial structures.
These current developments urge for
serious reflection on the directions that
international education takes and on the
values it promotes.
This international exploratory workshop
will thus theorise on the future of international education and will examine the
following issues: Is a paradigm shift in
the fundamental epistemologies of education (broadly defined) inevitable? As
we look towards the future, how should
the various stakeholders, especially the
scientific community, cope with these
issues? How could the current social
imaginaries in education premised on the
‘laws of the market’ be changed? How
could academics engage and collaborate
to overcome the ‘exigencies’ of international education?
This workshop therefore innovates and
contributes to current scholarship by
setting the stage for an ‘education of
emergences’ – a meta-reflexive concept
that will be developed and explored to
facilitate recognition and acceptance of
emerging alternative possibilities in international education.
