“…Psychology graduates require proficiencies in international and intercultural communication and collaboration for various reasons. International education increases students' competitiveness in the international labor market (Fox & Hundley, 2011 ). More importantly, international professional development for students as practitioners and researchers allows them to better serve diverse communities locally and globally through the development of interventions that respond to local and international challenges (Fox & Hundley, 2011 ).…”

Internationalization in psychology provides unique opportunities for students worldwide and promises to build a more inclusive, representative, and culturally sensitive discipline. Far from passive recipients of the internationalization process, students are actively involved in promoting opportunities for cross-cultural collaborations, international learning, and the creation of international networks. This paper reviews opportunities for student involvement in internationalization related efforts in psychology. Students’ roles within international and regional psychology organizations are explored to highlight the unique contributions and opportunities afforded by more independent and fully student-led organizations and initiatives. This paper discusses the barriers to establishing student-led organizations and to student involvement in international endeavors, including power imbalances, language barriers, and disparities in students’ ability to access financial resources and mentorship depending on their geographical location. Recommendations are offered, to both students and professional members, to foster student contributions to the internationalization of psychology and support the creation of sustainable student-led international organizations.

“…Recognition of global problems, coupled with global interconnectedness, has heightened awareness for how the security and prosperity of commonalities in different parts of the world coalesce (McGrew, 2011). Global challenges need solutions from gathering and sharing knowledge across disciplines and institutions on a global scale (Fox & Hundley, 2011). Critical to understanding and interacting with globalization and the issues it presents is that there are different ways of framing and contextualizing globalization (Jackson, 2016).…”

This article examines how changes related to the processes of globalization are impacting teaching and learning practices and presents a vision for the future of adult education. By examining these changes, with the purpose of understanding their relevance to adult education, the author makes recommendations for how to adapt to new landscapes of work and learning. Three key recommendations to strengthen adult educators’ professional practice are presented based on literature in the field of adult education and professional practice. These three recommendations are to engage in critical reflection, develop communities of practice and commit to lifelong learning. While each of these recommendations are distinct, they are mutually reinforcing to support adult educators' practice and prospects. Adult educators can be influencers in fostering transformation through learning that will shape and strengthen the future. This is more relevant than ever in the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic. Discovering what to be aware of and incorporating awareness of the potential for adult education to inspire positive change will promote personal and professional success in practice.

“…The world of higher education is continuously impacted by the growing influence of globalisation and internationalisation. Fox and Hundley (2011) argue that globalisation is about the interconnectedness of people and businesses across the world that eventually leads to global cultural, political and economic integration. There is a serious move away from the local to the global in the bid to make the world a global village.…”

T he timeliness of this book cannot be over-emphasised. Its contribution to the debates on decoloniality confirms that the academic community, students and civil society agree that coloniality has overstayed its welcome. The book fits well within current debates on the subject and articulates clearly that educational policies and practices that still have an inherent yearning for the realisation of Euro-American success stories, without critically analysing the real differences between the Global North and Global South, no longer have a place in the academy. It is beyond simple rhetoric on the need to decolonise. The book suggests practical discipline-based ideas on how to realise a decolonial research tradition, course design, teaching approach and assessment. University leadership, researchers, academics, and students, need this book.
