Internationalizing Higher Education
It is a pleasure to announce that in June 2021 we will be offering a new intensive PhD course through Bergen
Summer Research School called Internationalizing
Higher Education. The purpose of this course is to examine both theoretical
and practical approaches to the improvement of international cooperation in the
field of higher education, and it is designed to be of benefit to both professors
and senior administrators.
Application Deadline: 1 February 2021!
I previously taught courses in cultural policy for
BSRS: Cultural Policy: Arts Heritage and
Sustainability (2019), and Cultural
Heritage and Policy in a Digital Age (2018), and although this new course
has a different focus we intend to include a strong arts component. I will be coordinating the 2021 course along with Robert
Gray and Steinar
Sætre, both based at University of Bergen. We will post links to more
details when they become available.
Bergen Summer Research School courses explore interdisciplinary topics at
the interface between society, science, and global challenges, and tend to attract
100 PhD candidates each year from all around the world, many of whom are
sponsored by scholarships. It is a unique opportunity to obtain advanced
research training while building international professional networks.
On a more personal note, I was recently asked to compile a dossier of my teaching, and was pleasantly surprised to receive enthusiastic endorsements from numerous former students and colleagues. Upon actually counting, I found that over the years I have taught for 85 institutions on each inhabited continent. It has been quite an adventure, and I am forever grateful for the opportunities. There is so much to learn from international dialogue. Hopefully we will receive lots of strong applications for the BSRS 2021 course, and can have a positive impact on colleges and universities that are seeking to open up for more international cooperation.
