Conference Perspectives: CBIE and IOHE - Ep7
Description
The 2020 pandemic has forced international education to change in many ways, including the overnight change from the much-beloved in-person conferences to virtual. In this episode, CJ is joined by CANIE Co-host Evelien Renders, Information Manager in internationalization at Radboud University, to talk to two associations: the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) and the Inter-American Organization for Higher Education (OIHE) about their organizations' views on climate justice and action, and the benefits and challenges of virtual, bi-annual, and annual conference models. We listen to Larissa Bezo, President and CEO of the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE), Melissa Payne, Director of Membership, Research and Learning (CBIE), and Luis Kauachi (IOHE) discuss the future of conferences and networking and finally - how practitioners can play active roles in shaping these changes. The presenting sponsor for the CANIE Climate Dialogues is the University of Auckland's International Office.
