A Letter to the Editors: What Can Critical Mean to International Education Praxis?
Year: 2025
Type: letter
Abstract: There is no question that higher education is in turbulent times, with shifting geopolitical priorities and policy actions affecting many across the globe. As such, many international educators, including administrators and faculty, grapple with how to engage in critical praxis and practice in their day-to-day work. In this letter to the editors, we aim to acknowledge and address the many challenges facing international education in today’s geopolitical realities by applying an equity-driven lens for internationalization. The original application of the lens included four guiding principles: defining the sociohistorical context, understanding contemporary forces of globalization, integrating equity-driven theoretical perspectives, and de/constructing internationalization. In adapting the lens for application to practice, we added a fifth lens: building communities of critical praxis and scholarship. Ultimately, we offer our partnership and co-conspiratorship to the JGHE readership and call on others in positions of professional protection and security to do the same.
