Issue Briefs

Submission Guidelines

The goal of AIEA Issue Briefs is to inform AIEA members and the larger international education community about key issues in the internationalization of higher education and potential responses.

To prepare an Issue Brief:

• State the issue for consideration, how it emerged, and its relevance to AIEA’s mission and membership of senior international officers from around the world
• Discuss the significance and possible impacts of the issue
• Provide one or more possible or attempted responses to the issue and discuss potential ramifications, positive and/or negative
• Include references and resources to help readers investigate the issue in more depth

Length: 1,000 to 1,500 words

Collaboration And Engagement In International Education

Submission Guidelines

AIEA welcomes original contributions for this series from all colleagues working on collaboration and engagement for change in international education. Contributions should be written with a Senior International Officer (or her/his equivalent) audience in mind. All contributors should follow these guidelines.

Author Guidelines
Recent global tragedies have underscored an urgency for higher education to embrace and ground social justice, anti-racist, and deeply collaborative ways of learning at the heart of its work. To meet these challenges, social justice must be intentionally foregrounded in our daily work in international education as a whole to make tangible inroads toward diversity, equity, and inclusion.  This series focuses on unique strategies and practices to bring about change that bear on social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion on campus through:

• Decolonizing the curriculum in international education, disciplinary majors, and general education
• Building faculty-staff collaborative coalitions for social justice-focused internationalization efforts
• Prioritizing social justice/diversity, equity, and inclusion in international education programming, international partnerships, staffing, and hiring
• Other relevant domains in higher education.

AIEA welcomes original contributions for this series from all colleagues working on social justice/ diversity, equity, and inclusion issues in international higher education.
