Dr. Aneta Hayes, Reader in Education and Dean of Internationalisation and Partnerships at Keele University, shares with us her international education journey starting with an interest in applied linguistics that took her to Bahrain to teach in an international school and then at a TNE operation. She tells us of her specific interest in the internationalisation of the curriculum and the campus, and stresses the need to move beyond a deficit view of international students and reconceptualise what an international student is to adopt more inclusive approaches to internationalisation.
Aneta also tells us about the work of the Monitoring and Evaluation Tools working group which she chairs, set up by UUK International to support the collection of more granular data for UK TNE... and shares the memorable experience of working with Syrian refugees in Lebanon to support the portability of informal learning, and the ethical questions she posed herself as a researcher.
