  • Chapter
Critical Perspectives on Internationalising the Curriculum in Disciplines

Part of the book series: Global Perspectives on Higher Education ((GPHE,volume 28))

Abstract

In contrast to many other countries, internationalization in the Canadian university sector demonstrates a high degree of local institutional autonomy (Shubert & Trilokeker, 2009).
