Prof. Simon Guy, PVC Global at Lancaster University shares his international education journey from the early stages of his academic career in urban architecture to these days leading the University of Lancaster's strategy to extend its global reach. We talk about the innovative approach adopted in establishing the new joint campus with Deakin University in Bandung, Indonesia, and the example of equitable and deep partnership with Sunway University in Malaysia.
Simon shares his views about the current boundless opportunities for growing TNE operations, and the critical importance of adopting decolonising approaches based on co-design, co-development, and equality and underpinning TNE growth with sound due diligence. He also tells us of the important work of the UK International Campus Alliance Network in sharing best practices across the sector... and shares the memorable experience of having be made an honorary Victorian for a day attending the Global Business Forum at the G20 Summit in Bali and briefing the Australian Prime Minister about the Deakin-Lancaster new joint project in Indonesia.
