Full Description
Mobility of scholars for seeking knowledge has existed since the earliest ideal of universities. These universities have played a pivotal role in the movement of people across borders and the resultant transformation of societies due to transcultural interactions.
Drawing on Neil Postman's idea of media ecology, this book introduces the notion of educational ecology and discusses the evolving landscape associated with it. It compiles the expectations, best practices and experiences within the field of internationalization to discuss the interconnectedness of higher education institutions in today's world and their implications on the educational ecology.
