paper, Gopaul and Memon presented their findings of private and public universities in the UAE in terms of how they articulate conceptions of ‘global citizenship’ within their curricula. How is the governance of GCC higher education institutions affected by policy initiatives and internationalization? This aspect of the workshop’s proceedings was addressed by four papers. The first, by Hajra Waheed (McGill University), offered a critique of neoliberal policies that underpin the expansion of for-profit higher education institutions in the UAE. In a paper entitled “Neoliberalism and Higher Education: A Case Study of Dubai’s International Academic City,” Waheed offered a sustained deconstruction of the contradictions and tensions associated with such endeavors. The second paper, presented by Mary Catharine Lennon (University of Toronto), was entitled “Breaking the Mould: A Gulf State Model of Cross-border Higher Education.” In this paper, Lennon attempted to explore the contours of a conceptual model which would direct attention to the multifaceted aspects associated with cross-border education, and their cultural, economic and political implications. The third paper was presented by Jason Lane (University of New York at Albany), entitled “International Branch Campuses in the GCC: Governing Locally or Globally.” In his paper, Lane showed how international branch campuses end up developing differential modes of governance that are shaped at the juncture of local and global contexts. The fourth and last paper, presented by Torsten Brandenburg (University of Mainz), explored “The Gulf Research Meeting – July 2010 81
82 The 2010 Gulf Research Meeting Political Economy of Internationalization of Higher Education in the Sultanate of Oman.” In his paper, Brandenburg presented the findings of his fieldwork, showing how the distinction between national and other public/private institutions reproduces socioeconomic distinctions between diverse constituencies, offering differential opportunity structures to different groups in Oman. In addition to the presenting contributors, the workshop was extremely well attended throughout the three days. A number of doctoral students, as well as high profile academics and administrators from various GCC universities actively participated in and contributed to the deliberations and discussions.
