Current Research

I am passionate about the internationalisation of higher education, particularly existential internationalisation or the internationalisation of the self. I am also interested in the internationalisation of the curriculum, and in looking at views of international students and staff, which can lead to symbolic exclusion within an academic context .I am particularly interested in reflexivity and its role in bridging the gap between Cultural Others and developing an internationalised mindset.
