  • Let's start with the basics. Why is international education important? What is the purpose?What exactly is international education?; So what definition would you offer? Can you provide a better definition of International Education, based on your years of experience?; How then is International Education different from the traditional curriculum students pursue?; You have argued that the concept and the field of international education needs reframing. Why is it necessary to reframe international education?
  • You are known for applying a systems approach to higher education. From a systems perspective, how is an institution better able to achieve its goals when all parts are working in unison?You have proposed the idea of conceptualizing the work of international education as a hologram. Can you explain and elaborate on this idea?; This is a lot to unpack. So let's begin with you elaborating on why the concept of cultural diplomacy is important to international education?; So then what are the practical implications associating cultural diplomacy with international education?
  • What are the sources of knowledge that International Education comes from?What is the significance of Ross' insights?; One of the frames of reference in your hologram concept is, "a giant laboratory of international and intercultural relations." Can you talk more about this frame of reference so as to make it more concrete for me?; You propose that international education is a learning multiplier .How can that be when there may be issues of cultural gaps between international and domestic students?; What is the basis of international education as educational reform?
  • Why is it important to view international education as an agent of change?Can you see the risks of comparing higher education to business?; Recently in the news, several higher education institutions have received generous funding from the US federal government to further fund the study of international education, including the University of Washington, which received 16 million and Michigan State University, who was awarded 7 million. Why this interest now?
