Guardian Op-Ed: Higher Education Must Join Up Internationalization and Development

An op-ed in The Guardian by Rajika Bhandari, the deputy vice president of research and evaluation at the Institute of International Education, argues that experts and practitioners in the fields of international education and international development need to communicate with each other more often in order to shape "the next generation's thinking about how their learning can help solve some of the world's most endemic problems." Bhandari notes that there are particular programs that are attempting to bridge the divide between these two fields, including the Ford Foundation International Fellowship Program and Engineers without Borders.
