International Academic Partnerships: What Are They For and Who Do They Benefit?
Spotlight Presentation: Christopher Hill

Does a university exist in isolation, or does it have a responsibility to externalise and connect? With shifting patterns of recruitment and ever changing funding sources, there is a clear need to examine the role of a university within its own environment and in the wider world.

Most academic institutions will be members of some form of consortia or international partnership. This paper asks whether these consortia are living up to their full potential, particularly in light of recent developments in higher education and the need for a more inclusive and sustainable approach to activity. In exploring the motivations behind consortia, the paper presents a typology that identifies and categorises the different forms of engagement and activity. What becomes evident is that the very nature and design of consortia are often at odds with their actual impact. Does that really matter? Even if the collaboration may be more in name than in practice, is the demonstration of willingness to work together at least one benefit, maybe even that first important step towards true partnership and impact.

IAFOR’s Collaborative Efforts: AAS and the IAFOR Research Centre
Featured Discussion: Brendan Howe, Haruko Satoh, Krisna Uk

The objective of The Asian Conference on Education & International Development (ACEID) is to showcase the importance of education as an integral (and indispensable) component of international development. In higher education, where the resource-rich Global North dominates in research capacity, as well as in shaping mainstream discourse, many institutions in the Global South still need considerable capacity building in order to make their voice count.

In this featured discussion, we invite Krisna Uk, Director of Special Initiatives at the Association of Asian Studies, who is leading the South and Southeast Asia initiative to “Cultivate the Humanities and Social Sciences in Under-represented Scholars in Asia”, to discuss this major region-wide, collaborative undertaking. She will be joined by Brendan Howe, Dean of the Graduate School of International Studies at Ewha Womans University and President of APISA (Asian Political and International Studies Association) and Haruko Satoh, the co-director of the IAFOR Research Centre (IRC) at the Osaka School of International Public Policy, who are both contributing to this initiative through the IRC’s “Peace and Human Security in Asia: Toward a Meaningful Japan-Korea Partnership” project supported by the Korea Foundation.

Developing Students’ Transferable Skills Through Service Leadership of an Inclusive Learning Community
Keynote Presentation: Atara Sivan

One important aim of higher education is to develop students’ attributes and skills that can be applied in their future careers. Apart from contributing to their employability, the skills students gain during their university experience can enhance their personal and social capacity and prepare them to take leadership roles in the community.

This paper presents a study examining the development of secondary school and special educational needs students’ transferable skills through active participation in an inclusive learning community. Students were trained to take a service leadership role in the learning community as part of a general education course on service leadership and learning communities. The study adopted a mixed-method design. Pre-and post-course questionnaire surveys and follow-up interviews were conducted with a sample of 27 students enrolled in the course. Data analysis revealed a statistically significant increase in the scores of attributes related to the appreciation of diversity, respect, contribution to society, and civic engagement after completing the course. Thematic analysis of the qualitative data indicated an increase in understanding of social inclusion, demonstration of service leadership skills and willingness to contribute to society by undertaking leadership roles. Students demonstrated empathy, respect and effective communication. They delegated roles to others and reflected on their leadership experience. Results of the study highlight the importance of empowering students to undertake leadership in a learning community of diverse populations in real-life settings. This authentic experience contributes to the development of important skills and attributes for students’ personal and social development.

Internationalisation, Education and Development Cooperation in East Asia
Keynote Presentation: Brendan Howe

East Asia (defined here as including both Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia) is a region that has contributed greatly to the concept of an “Asia-Pacific Century.” This focus has been justified by the East Asian economic development “miracle,” the absence of interstate war in the “long peace of East Asia,” and an “Eastphalian peace.” Reference has also been made to East Asia’s other miracle, the decline of mass atrocities, while Freedom House notes that it is the only region of the world to have made significant gains in political freedoms in recent years. Education has been core to the regional “miracles,” and the governments of development success stories have looked to export their models through education, training, and development cooperation. Yet, many obstacles remain to a true internationalisation of higher education, and to the transfer of lessons to other countries in the region. These include a paucity of resources, a shortage of publishing outlets, language barriers, an emphasis on hard sciences and disciplines that promote economic growth (econophoria), and relatedly, the pull of policy-relevant work that offers greater prestige and financial rewards. In some cases, nationalism, and in other cases, a subaltern relationship to the West (sometimes both together), restrict regional educational and development cooperation. This presentation will discuss some of these issues and shortcomings, but also suggest opportunities for overcoming the challenges.
