Dear Conference Participants,

Welcome to the Sixth Annual International Education Conference, an annual event organized by the doctoral students in NYU’s International Education Program. When this was conference was first conceptualized, its purpose was to create a space in which scholars from various disciplines could meet and discuss issues related to the field of international education. This year, panelists represent universities and organizations from over 40 institutions from around the world, bringing to the conference the range and diversity of topics that scholars and educators contribute to this field. Moreover, this breadth allows us to consider the fundamental role that education plays both within and beyond national borders in a changing global environment.

The International Education Program is part of the University’s global mission to produce scholars and professionals who will help us understand the implications of living in a globalized world. Unprecedented transnational migration and economic activity, the internationalization of popular cultures, the growth of multinational non-‐governmental organizations, and radical transformations in innovative technologies all contribute to a world in which national boundaries are more fluid than ever before. As the social, political and economic systems of countries around the world become more interdependent, the problems they confront have assumed a global dimension. Education is central to the solution of these problems.

This event could not have been possible without the dedicated work of the International Education doctoral students and the support of faculty and staff within the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development. We would like to thank the International Education Student Board for assisting with the conference preparations, making this the first joint effort between the Master’s and PhD students. We also wish to express our deep gratitude to the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Steinhardt Graduate Student Organization, and the Cultural Services department of the Embassy of France in the United States for their generous sponsorship. Lastly, we extend a special thanks to the discussants for contributing their invaluable expertise and friendship to the conference.

Sincerely,
