You can listen to the episode below or on your favorite podcast platform.
Campuses are going quiet and Australian international educators are turning their minds to the Christmas BBQ. Everything is calm in that delightful run down to campuses closures when....what should drop but another review from the federal Government!
Not that it's a criticism. This year has seen a huge body of policy consultation and work done on international ed by the feds. It feels like our $30 billion industry is starting to get some of the attention it deserves.
This week's review is a massive one - the Government's response to the Migration Review. It's been described as a "once in a generation" piece of work.
Whilst international education is only one part of the review, there are some significant changes coming for our industry that will certainly have an impact on both students and institutions. So we're fortunate to have Dirk Mulder from Australia's international education news source, The Koala News, on the podcast to break down all the key outcomes and what you need to know.
This is the final episode of Global Horizons for the year. We'll be back in your podcast feed on February 1, 2024. Until then - have yourself a wonderful end to 2023 and a well-earned break.

Thanks for having me for this podcast!
Navigating my double life between China and the US has been a whirlwind of emotions, from the highs of living in two incredible cultures to the lows of grappling with work struggles and the challenging immigrant process. Every day is a new adventure and a new lesson. Listen to this if you are also figuring things out in your 20s as an international student!

Great to be on a Podcast for a change rather than just recommending one (on which note Shane Leaning's Global Ed Leaders is a great Pod and I would recommend to anyone involved or interested in International Schools).
We talk about the evolving market in International Education, the need to explicitly create an affirmative sense of belonging and identity in our schools, and why this is an important area of reflection for us as international educators.
A fun (and I hope timely) conversation.
Politics today can be a cesspool - black-and-white shouting matches where opponents chase clout and outrage rather than solutions.
This is especially problematic when it comes to heavily politicized issues like climate change ...
I recently interviewed Dr. Bjorn Lomborg - the president and founder of the Copenhagen Consensus. Dr. Lomborg was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by TIME magazine, and a top 100 public intellectual by Foreign Policy and Prospect magazines.
I've been following his work since I was an international law student in 2002 - interviewing him was a true honour!
The approach they take at the Copenhagen Consensus is a stark contrast to the bloodsport 'debates' you find online. They work with world-class researchers - including seven Nobel laureates - to study and compare policies using the best available data.
In this interview, we discuss his intellectual journey, his exact stance on climate change, why democracies so easily fall for populist rhetoric, and the surprising opportunities for progress uncovered by his team's work.
There's a ton to learn from Dr. Lomborg's work - hope you all enjoy it!

What happens next? - Prof. Christopher Hill's Origin Story
We return to looking at origins again in this Think Education podcast episode and the baton passes from Professor Judith Lamie to Prof. Christopher Hill today.
Chris reflects on his initial career aspirations and how they morphed into a life in international higher education with a seamless (at least in hindsight) journey all mapped out! Judith and Chris talk about the lessons we learn along the way and how, one thing can quite literally lead to another. The ability, and freedom, to be open to possibilities is a luxury that often pays off.
Following on from Judith’s honest reflection regarding the challenges of living and working internationally, Chris looks back over his first major professional international move and reflects on his place within this process, what he gained from it and how he navigated the ups and downs.
Chris talks candidly about what happens at the end of a posting and how this can impact identity, wellbeing and indeed family life. What happens next is a common question, and indeed concern, for many of us who are working away from our ‘home’ country.
Internationalisation teaches you many things, not least of all that stability is a fluid concept. We rapidly become more comfortable with chaos and uncertainty, both in our professional and personal lives. It teaches you the need to be flexible and to roll with the punches. Life won’t always work out the way you think it will but it will often be quite a ride along the way.
If you would like to come on the podcast and share your international higher education journey, please do let us know. We would love to hear from you.
