Abstract

While there have been much research on internationalization, there has been very little empirical inquiry on the experience of racialized groups, both domestic and international within this discourse. Using social constructivism, the researcher will highlight the results of a case study on one Canadian institution with a stellar reputation for inclusive internationalization. The theory of internationalization intersectionality theory will be used as a conceptual framework in order to examine the experiences of racialized international populations at this institution. Findings will inform and provoke thought on the ways in which the current discourse and practice of internationalization can obfuscate racism and institutional support for racially minoritized populations.
