Internationalization within ACPA's social justice and decolonization imperative

ACPA's social justice and decolonization imperative calls for critical examination of privilege and power in all relationships - including students, faculty, staff, and the broader community. While some may see this work as primarily related to the dynamics within the U.S.A., Craig Elliott, Darbi Roberts, and Gudrun Nyunt will address the international question in a Facebook Live conference. How those who embrace internationalization can avoid the debilitating presumptions of superiority and inappropriate application of western educational ideas, policies, and practices is critical. Elliott, Roberts, and Nyunt are courageous in exploring this topic and will hopefully stir others to critically examine their approaches in the future.
