Introduction

Globalization is a compelling force in universities worldwide. With the flow of migrants continuing unabated, even intensifying across national borders, many universities are hosts to communities boasting unprecedented cultural diversity—evident in their faculties, administrations, and student bodies. These changes have brought the concomitant challenge of forging inclusive multicultural spaces in an institution—that of higher learning—which is often expected to lead the broader society in similarly humanistic endeavors. In this volume, we hope to gain a bird’s eye view as to how such efforts are progressing.
