General description
I study internationalisation of higher education and higher education policy from the perspective of language. What political, ideological or societal theme do we talk about when we think we talk about language? What are the spaces and times where and when language makes societal structures visible? Whose language is important, whose is invisible, and what does that say about our higher education? How can we theoretisize higher education with language?
