September 11, 2020. Our collaborative effort among Dr. Roopa Desai Trilokekar (York University), Dr. Glen Jones (OISE/UofT) and myself has successfully led to a new book "International Education as Public Policy in Canada" published by McGill-Queen’s University Press. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of international education policy in Canada, tracing the complex history of when, how, and why it emerged as a policy area of strategic importance. Illuminating a uniquely Canadian perspective, influenced by regional interests and federal-provincial tensions, "International Education as Public Policy in Canada" addresses challenging questions: Why was Canada a latecomer in addressing this policy issue? What is the relationship between international education and Canadian immigration policy? How did international education develop as a major Canadian industry? The resulting essays from leading scholars contribute not only to the growing Canadian literature on international education policy but also to a critical, global conversation around international education.
