Critical Perspectives on Internationalising the Curriculum in Disciplines: Reflective Narrative Accounts from Business, Education, and Health

The book is framed by the editors' excellent introductory chapter, an introduction to each of the three sections, and a concluding chapter, all quite helpful in providing the reader with both foundational concepts and cross-chapter themes and analyses and in pulling together the diverse approaches to internationalizing the curriculum elaborated in the 21 chapters (referred to as "narratives" by the editors). Business texts, particularly in management, offer theory, cases and problems associated with cross-cultural context, but international understanding cannot be gained solely from book learning" (p. 34). [...]what happens in the classroom (both with respect to the intentionality of the teacher and the lived experience of the students) is key to internationalization of the curriculum and a central point of the book.
