Supporting University-wide Institutional Change in Ethical Global Community Engagement

Abstract

The ethical dilemmas inherent in international volunteerism generally are slow to enter conversations of comprehensive internationalization in higher education. As a result, pockets of activity to address shortcomings in current practices often remain disconnected and siloed within specifics projects and programs, rather than part of a coherent campus-wide strategy. In this session, we share progress made by our team to intentionally institutionalize ethical considerations into all aspects of our work.
