Historically, U.S. higher education has taken a bifurcated approach to human diversity, separating internationalization efforts from diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work. In this session, we’ll explore why this is, the limitations of such a siloed approach, and how focusing on developing intercultural competence can help bridge the gap.
