The internationalization of higher education has become a defining feature of the 21st-century academic landscape, shaping institutional priorities, research agendas, and pedagogical practices worldwide. While often celebrated for fostering global collaboration, innovation, and cultural exchange, internationalization also presents complexities and contradictions. For Lusophone academic environments, these dynamics bring unique challenges and opportunities, particularly given the growing dominance of English as the academic lingua franca. This volume critically examines these issues, exploring how internationalization unfolds across Portuguese-speaking settings and its impact on knowledge production, language policies, and institutional practices. |
