What a Difference the World Makes: International Education and the Contemporary University

Conference Home
The conference seeks to address the impact of globalization on planning. We will explore strategies that facilitate the development of globally
informed planning processes. We will look for ideas to incorporate international knowledge and experience in order to serve our members and stakeholders
in a broader global context. We are looking for ideas that enrich our planning services by continuously integrating theories, planning knowledge and
practices beyond an inward national focus, and exploring and being inspired by world-wide influences, experiences and expertise that will allow our
campuses to participate meaningfully, confidently, and successfully in the global arena.
We in North America tend to think of "globalization" as simply the exporting of western culture and technology—and its results—to other
countries. Perhaps we can also think of globalization in terms of learning from other societies, other campus cultures, and other cultures'
traditions of education. How can we enrich services with more importing of global ideas instead of focusing on the exporting of North American
ideals? What colleges and universities in North America have already implemented global "best practices" that strengthen planning efforts here?
At the SCUP 2007 North Atlantic Regional Conference, we will explore ideas that are working at colleges and universities in other countries. We will
study how we can take ideas from other cultures and make necessary adaptations to incorporate them into our campuses, as well as adjust how we export
our higher education models and practices.
