short term Study Tours as a driver for increasing domestic student mobility in order to generate global work ready students and cultural exchange in asia pacific
Perspectives on the internationalisation of higher education, 2018Co-Authors: Lisa ScharounAbstract:Recent federal government programmes in Australia have seen a shift in focus from the international student towards increasing the possibilities for domestic mobility through short- and long-term exchange opportunities. The current New Colombo Plan funding scheme encourages Australian students, who have traditionally undertaken semester-long programmes in like-minded Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development nations such as USA and UK, to pursue short-term Study in Asia Pacific. Cross-cultural awareness through global learning experiences is key to students in the twenty-first century particularly in Australia – a multicultural country with a diverse mix of cultures from over 250 countries [Australian Bureau of Statistics. 2011. Reflecting a Nation: Stories from the 2011 Census 2012–2013. Accessed January 1. http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@nsf/Lookup/2071.0main+fe atures902012-2013]. Graduates who have studied abroad, even for a short period of time, in a culture significantly different to one’s own, are more culturally adaptable, aware and able to work more effectively in multicultural work environments than students without this experience [Lipsett, A. 2008 Graduates who have Studied Abroad More Appealing to Businesses. October 16. http://www.guradian.co.uk/ education/2008/oct/16/students-highereducation]. Short-term Study Tours can engage domestic students to look outwards whilst at the same time reflecting inwards on their own cultural behaviours. Thus they can be a driver for creating a work-ready graduate with strong cross-cultural communication skills. In this paper, I will argue that short-term Study Tours, to a culture significantly different to one’s own, should be a key focus of internationalisation in tertiary education. Although focussed on the Australian context, the discussions in this paper reference student data from the USA and UK thus findings may be applied to other nations.

post war planning and policy tourism the international Study Tours of the town and country planning association 1947 1961
Planning Theory & Practice, 2015Co-Authors: Ian R Cook, Stephen V Ward, Kevin WardAbstract:In light of the burgeoning academic interest in policy mobilities and policy tourism, this paper offers a critical insight into international planning Study Tours. Countering the contemporary focus of much of the research on these topics, this paper draws on archival research to explore the international Study Tours of the UK's Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA) between 1947 and 1961. In doing this, the paper makes two wider arguments; first, that there remains significant mileage in bringing together the policy mobilities literature with the work on past exchanges and visits by architects, engineers and planners and, second, that greater awareness and appreciation of past examples of comparison and learning might allow contemporary studies to be situated in their longer historical trajectories.
