Wissenschaftlerinnen in transnationalen Bildungsräumen. Das Beispiel der ifu
Tertium comparationis, 12 (2):
121-144 (2006)Abstract
The International Women's University (ifu) constituted a multidimensional experiment in higher education, which is focused here with regard to the transnationalisation of education. This article refers to the concept of transnational educational spaces... and proposes a perspective on the development of inner-institutional transnational educational spaces. In reference to the discussions of transnational educational biographies as micro-level of transnational educational spaces... and the organizational macro-level of transnationalisation of education, which has been empirically described in higher education research and within the context of neo-institutionalism, the article draws a perspective on a meso-level of transnational educational spaces as inner institutional development. Referring to the example of the International Women's University (ifu), which provided an international setting for women scientists from all parts of the world, it is shown how intercultural communication and cooperation, a transnational setting of teaching and learning and a curriculum with a global approach have been developed as an inner institutional transnational educational space at ifu.
