In all of these areas of work\, there h ave been a few recurring themes around justice\, equity\, and widening our understanding of epistemologies and ontologies.\nIn this first\, UKFIET C hair’s event\, I would like to reflect on discourse and actions relating to equitable transboundary partnerships\, the generation of knowledge and the recognition of other and othered ways of knowing and doing. I would a lso like to provide a platform for those working to bring diverse knowledg e systems into current international education praxis.”\n\n Whose are th e main voices in international education? \n What are the processes that maintain this status quo?\n What might disruption look like?\n Whose might be the new voices and how do we amplify them?\n What can we do differentl y from today in our own organisations and spheres of influence?\n\nPanelli sts\nSharon Walker is a lecturer at the University of Bristol.
