Opis

'Developing the Global Student' addresses the question of how students of higher education can emerge from their university life better equipped to dwell more effectively, ethically, and comfortably amidst the turmoils of a globalising world. It does this from a number of theoretical perspectives, illustrating the nature of the personal and educational challenges facing the individual student and the teaching professional. It explores the massive social changes wrought by the technologies and mobilities of globalisation, particularly how present and future generations will relate to, work with and dwell alongside the global other.
