Brian Whalen's essay proposes that international educators may have more allies than they realize. He relates a speaking opportunity where he thought he needed to convince the audience of the merit of internationalization only to find out that he had compelling advocates right there in his audience.
This is an important lesson in a era of increasing nationalism in some quarters. The nationalist push is so strong that it perceptually drowns out the balanced voices of experience that confirm the merit of connecting across national and cultural borders - internationalizing the education landscape.
