DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Damtew Teferra\, University of Kwazulu-Natal (South Af
 rica)\n\nThe internationalization of higher education in the Global South 
 is entering a critical phase shaped by what may be termed a moment of “g
 lobal rupture.” This rupture reflects the fragmentation of the global or
 der\, marked by geopolitical tensions\, shifting alliances\, the erosion o
 f multilateralism\, and heightened restrictions on mobility\, knowledge ex
 change\, and academic collaboration. As a result\, long-standing assumptio
 ns underpinning internationalization—such as openness\, reciprocity\, an
 d the production and free flow of knowledge—are being fundamentally chal
 lenged. For institutions in the Global South\, which have historically eng
 aged with internationalization as a pathway to capacity building\, visibil
 ity\, and global integration\, these disruptions raise urgent questions ab
 out strategy\, agency\, and sustainability. This presentation intends to i
 nterrogate how the Global South can navigate and redefine internationaliza
 tion amid these uncertainties as it examines dominant models of internatio
 nalization that have often privileged North–South flows of knowledge\, r
 esources\, and influence\, and considers the implications of their potenti
 al reconfiguration. At the same time\, the presentation explores emerging 
 opportunities\, including the strengthening of South–South and South–S
 outh–North collaborations\, the rise of new knowledge hubs\, and the inc
 reasing relevance of regional and context-responsive partnerships.
