Connecting research and practice in international education is vital. Each year, NAFSA's Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship Knowledge Community (TLS KC) honors an individual's contributions to the knowledge and practice of the field through the Innovative Research in International Education Award.

This event featured a presentation from the 2024 award recipient, Miri Yemini, focusing on lessons from her research about global citizenship education [she expands further on these ideas in the November/December 2024 Trends & Insights article, "Beyond Borders: Toward Equity in International Research Collaborations"]. TLS KC member leaders also provided opportunities for large-group discussion about the impacts of research in the field and provide guidance about the process to apply for the 2025 TLS KC Award.

This event was open to everyone—especially scholar-practitioners and researchers of all levels, including graduate students. All were encouraged to come with any questions or ideas.

Any questions about this event can be submitted via the TLS KC Feedback Form.
