The event celebrates a field of study championed by CIHE founder Philip G. Altbach, a research professor and distinguished fellow at the Lynch School of Education and Human Development.

Altbach, who believed that a global perspective was needed to foster enlightened policies and practices in higher education, will be honored with an annual lecture series in his name.

Author and editor of nearly 100 books, Altbach is widely recognized for his contribution to the field of international higher education, particularly in relation to the academic profession, internationalization of higher education, academic mobility, and linking academic research to policy practice.听 The field now counts hundreds of research centers and programs around the world focused on the topic.

The first of the Altbach Lectures will be a keynote by University of Oxford Professor Simon Marginson, director of the ESRC/OFSRE Centre for Global Higher Education and editor-in-chief of Higher Education, the international journal of higher education research.

The conference is composed of five interactive sessions, each launched by a global panel of experts and moderated by a CIHE affiliate: the history and future of the field of international higher education, led by Altbach; global trends and actors, local needs and policies, moderated by Lynch School Associate Professor Gerardo L. Blanco, CIHE academic director; the (d)evolution of internationalization in/of higher education, led by Lynch School Professor and CIHE distinguished fellow Emeritus Hans de Wit; existential threats to higher education around the world, led by Lynch School Professor of the Practice Chris R. Glass, leader of the Ed.D. in Higher Education program; and a closing panel, moderated by CIHE Managing Director Rebecca Schendel, a Lynch School associate professor of the practice.
