Abstract
International collaborations in higher education offer robust opportunities for broadening pedagogical participation in geography and envisioning transformative practices for interdisciplinary research. This presentation highlights successful methods, activities, and content for inclusive learning and broadened classroom engagement in international education. Drawing from our teaching--jointly and individually, we show how we adjust for variations in the appropriateness and quality of teaching practices and resources to deepen students’ learning experiences by integrating transnational research analyses, empirical findings, and fieldwork. We use local and global content to illustrate a variety of pedagogic approaches and geographic perspectives that foster multifaceted enrichment of learning, teaching and career mentoring that accrue from international education collaborations in general and from the Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program in particular.
