[Call for Proposals for Summer 2026 Special Issue] Examining , , and in the Internationalization of Higher Education from Global Perspectives

The Special Issue examines dynamics through which race and racism and the processes of racialization shape and are shaped by internationalization practices in higher education across global contexts. We invite contributors to center race as an analytical lens in examining internationalization practices. We define race as a socially, transnationally, and globally constructed system of categorization and hierarchy that impacts structures, institutions, policies, and individuals across global contexts. We recognize that race does not operate in isolation; it intersects with systems of oppression, including colonialism, xenophobia, class, caste, ethnicity, nationalism, nativism, and religion, creating complex, and at times hostile, conditions for those engaged in international academic activity.

Race and racism impact the ways internationalization is experienced through access and services, language dominance, research inequality, cultural imperialism, epistemic inequality, brain drain, superficial engagement, and the everyday experiences of racism and power asymmetry. Yet these ways are underdeveloped in international/comparative higher education literature.

The Special Issue welcomes theoretical analyses, empirical studies, methodological innovations, reflective accounts, and practice-based insights that critically engage with race, racism, and racialization processes in the internationalization of higher education.

We welcome proposals that move beyond U.S.- or Western-centric paradigms and offer insights from underrepresented regions in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Indigenous or diasporic communities.

Submit a 500-word proposal by July 1, 2025. Authors will be notified of their acceptance by August 1, 2025, with completed articles due by September 30, 2025. All articles undergo a double-masked peer review and must follow the JCIHE guidelines. Proposals can be submitted directly to the Guest Editors, Louise Michelle V., Jing Yu, Dr. Punita Lumb, and Benjamin Denga, at [email protected] or via the JCIHE website.
