Overview
This AIEA thematic forum aims to explore how justice, equity, inclusion and internationalization intersect, and to give higher education professionals tools and strategies for enhancing global-mindedness and for deepening their community’s understanding of discrimination and prejudice. The Ohio State University is offering this forum through virtual participation with partner institutions that include: the American Council on Education (ACE), Pennsylvania State University and Tampere University, Finland. Panelists will share European and U.S. perspectives and approaches for tackling contemporary critical issues, and compare lessons learned. Participants will both pose questions and comments and interact in small group discussion.
A repository of relevant readings is available at u.osu.edu/aieaforum. We welcome your insights in the comment section. Event content and pictures will be archived on the AIEA website. View the flyer.
