  2. 6. The Interpretation and Translation of Global Ideas into Local Practices : A Study of the Internationalisation of Higher Education in Mozambique

    Author : Charnaldo Jaime Ndaipa; Lars Geschwind; Kristina Edström; Jens Jungblut; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Decolonisation; internationalisation of higher education; internationalisation of the curriculum; North–South partnerships; translation.; Descolonização; internacionalização do ensino superior; internacionalização do currículo; parcerias Norte-Sul; tradução.; Avkolonisering; internationalisering av högre utbildning; internationalisering av läroplanen; Nord-Syd-partnerskap; översättning.; Teknik och lärande; Technology and Learning;

    Abstract : Internationalisation and its components, such as curriculum internationalisation and international partnerships, have evolved over time in the context of higher education. In this thesis, such terminologies are addressed as global ideas of internationalisation because internationalisation is described as a global, intentional and inclusive concept in higher education, even though it is understood to have been pursued under coercion and contestation in Africa and elsewhere.

  4. 7. Democracy Reconsidered : Britain, France, Sweden, and the EU

    Author : Hans Agné; Kjell Goldmann; Jörgen Hermansson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Democracy; Democratic theory; Autonomy; Participation; Deliberation; Internationalisation; Globalisation; EU; Budget policy; International Political Economy; parliament; European integration; Sweden; France; Britain; Political science; Statsvetenskap;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether some positions in democratic theory should be adjusted or abandoned in view of internationalisation; and if adjusted, how. More specifically it pursues three different aims: to evaluate various attempts to explain levels of democracy as consequences of internationalisation; to investigate whether the taking into account of internationalisation reveals any reason to reconsider what democracy is or means; and to suggest normative interpretations that cohere with the adjustments of conceptual and explanatory democratic theory made in the course of meeting the other two aims.

    Author : Luke Holmes; Caroline Kerfoot; Linus Salö; Anthony Liddicoat; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Ethics; multilingualism; ethical event; responsibility; hospitality; Levinas; higher education; internationalisation; linguistic anthropology; linguistic ethnography; language policy and planning; language ideology; tvåspråkighet; Bilingualism;

    Abstract : This thesis engages ethnographically with actors whose practices constitute contemporary Swedish universities and who pose and respond to everyday questions of ethics and multilingualism. In contradistinction to the discursively monolingual horizon of contemporary academia, the thesis thinks questions of language differently, contributing to the growing body of knowledge on socially and linguistically diverse practice in internationalising university life.
