Engaging with ‘the Rise of Asia’ in Transnational Education Contexts

1-2pm, Monday, 7 December
Venue: Barbara Falk Room, Level 1, Elisabeth Murdoch Building (Building 134). Enter from external staircase opposite Melbourne School of Design.

It argues that these relationships have generated fertile space for more subtle ‘Western dominance’ under the celebrated ‘Asia Century’.
