Abstract
Global ethics is a growing field of study with a strong liberal foundation that addresses multiple and complex dilemmas including the availability of resources, violence, migration, poverty, exploitation, consumption, trade, tourism, and humanitarian intervention (Widdow 201, Pogge and Horton 2008, Trembley 2010). In higher education, these dilemmas go beyond liberal concerns to include questions related to how trans-national subjects, relations and ideals are constituted and framed, their historicity, political economy, and implications for educational practice and research in higher education. This working group session brings together analyses from five different international contexts offering situated critiques that can trigger the start of conversations about the complexities of teaching and learning initiatives, linguistic policies and civic engagement concerned with global contexts in higher education.
