Dr. Chrystal George Mwangi is a leading scholar in the field of DEI and international education, and she will be visiting Penn State on Wednesday, June 8th. Her lecture will take place at 5:30pm in Foster Auditorium in the Libraries.

Growing political nationalism around the world, travel bans and restrictions, geopolitical tensions, regulations and racist nativism impacting international student mobility - the need to pursue higher education internationalization with an intentional focus on equity is more critical than ever. Framed by an emergent equity-driven internationalization lens, Dr. George Mwangi will share an approach for foregrounding (in)equity in internationalization strategies, international student mobility, international higher education partnerships/research, and education abroad. This research talk will highlight how the process, concept, and construction of internationalization can center or silence the ways universities engage globally.
