Abstract

Like most aspects of modern higher education, its internationalization is framed by terminology rooted in neoliberal practices. No aspect of academic life is more widely touched than internationalization, where encounters with the broad reach of capitalism and its legacy of inequalities are common place; and where the motivations, processes, and practices of individuals representing institutions of higher education have meaningful opportunities to reframe an increasingly transactional space. This chapter offers an analysis of commonly used terms and an invitation to delinking and re-imagining its vernacular.
