Interculturality

Interculturality and Education Strategic Research Group

This research group focuses on investigating interculturality as both a goal and process in education, in particular international education. We foreground the use of applied linguistics and sociological approaches to educational policies, practices and student/teacher experiences to generate insights into topical issues such as the intersectionality of language, culture and education; engagement; internationalisation of higher education; student international mobility; intercultural understanding; and emerging issues of interest such as transculturality and sustainability of international education. The group will provide an academic collective and associated support to foster interdisciplinary research and global collaboration in transcultural education.
