International Voices - Douglas Proctor

In this episode, Judith and I talk with @douglasjproctor Pro Vice Chancellor Global Engagement @Swinburne to get the Australian perspective on all things international.  Douglas reflected on his time in both Ireland and Australia to talk about the contrasts between the two international higher education systems, the role of governments and the approach to international student recruitment.

We talked about how international students are viewed in different countries; how a sense of identity and attachment can evolve and be nurtured; and what the term community means to those within and outside of a university.  We even had time to think about the pesky question as to what internationalisation actually means.
