Abstract

ABSTRACT In this article we consider the resonances between internationalisation and decolonising initiatives in the university. Based on our own experiences, as white, British, female scholars, of engaging with both internationalisation and decolonising agendas through our two decades of research and practice in these fields, we consider the parallels between these two strong initiatives. We feel that there are many resonances and opportunities for learning across them and that there is potential strength and solidarity in outlining the ways in which these two agendas can be mutually supportive. Using a discursive approach embedded in literature in the field, we argue that setting internationalisation and decoloniality alongside each other may enable an understanding of culture, race and whiteness; knowledge production; positions and positionality which could inform ways forward for both agendas. Through our reflexive conversations in this article, we aim to illustrate the ways in which internationalisation may perpetuate coloniality and yet how it can advance the decolonial possibilities of higher education, suggesting that the circularity may be broken by learning to unlearn and finding a common language between the two agendas.
学习忘却:探索高等教育中国际化与非殖民议程之间的关系
在这篇文章中,我们考虑了大学国际化和非殖民化倡议之间的共鸣。作为白人、英国女性学者,我们在这些领域从事了20年的研究和实践,参与了国际化和去殖民化议程,根据我们自己的经验,我们考虑了这两个强有力的倡议之间的相似之处。我们认为,它们之间有许多共鸣和学习的机会,概述这两个议程相互支持的方式可能会有潜在的力量和团结。使用在该领域的文学中嵌入的话语方法,我们认为将国际化和非殖民化放在一起可以使人们理解文化、种族和白人;知识生产;可以为两个议程指明前进方向的立场和立场。通过我们在本文中的反思性对话,我们旨在说明国际化可能使殖民主义永久化的方式,以及它如何推进高等教育的非殖民化可能性,并建议通过学习忘记和在两个议程之间找到共同语言来打破循环。
