ABSTRACT
The number of international students has long been a key metric in the competition of global university rankings and used as evidence of quality. If internationalisation can be decoupled from neoliberalism, or if at least neoliberal ideology is recognised as such and no longer naturalised as a given, then it is possible to imagine internationalisation creating spaces for radical inclusion in the university. Inspired by powerful first-hand accounts of fellow educators making sense of their lived realities in the global, neoliberal university, we are well positioned to conduct what S. Stein describes as a liminal critique of internationalisation. The neoliberal global university has been a space for mobility without hospitality. Our search for hope abroad still continues, and we hope to make this hopeful pilgrimage towards the future not an individual endeavour any longer, but the collective effort of the University of the Future.
