摘要：With the development of Thailand 4.0, it is critical for engaged scholars
to address the role of higher education in Thailand’s social and economic
development with an understanding of how local histories (local) and
economic globalization (global) shape their work. We discuss the Thai
context for community engagement, then describe the purpose and
learning goals for the Global Citizenship and Civic Engagement (GCCE)
initiative, as well as the methodological approach used to assess the
initiative’s impact and long-term sustainability. The findings highlight
how glocal learning fostered Thai and U.S. graduate students’ valuing
local knowledge and linking economic inequality to environmental
injustice. Students transformed in their understanding of the need to
revitalize marginalized knowledge and include experiences of otherthan-human
beings. The findings contribute valuable non-Western
perspectives on how international partnerships between universities
prepare graduate students as engaged scholars for a sustainable world.
其他摘要：With the development of Thailand 4.0, it is critical for engaged scholars to address the role of higher education in Thailand’s social and economic development with an understanding of how local histories (local) and economic globalization (global) shape their work. The empirical analysis in this article is based on an international partnership designed to prepare graduate students as engaged scholars in a newly industrialized country. We discuss the Thai context for community engagement, then describe the purpose and learning goals for the Global Citizenship and Civic Engagement initiative. We describe the methodological approach to gathering data about the impact of the initiative and discuss findings. The findings contribute valuable international perspectives to the literature on graduate student education by focusing on the development of graduate student identities as engaged scholars through an international partnership with a US university. The GCCE initiative encourages the formation of reciprocal relationships with international universities as partners in order to prepare graduate students as engaged scholars through glocal learning.
