UB alumna and ethnographer Hilary E. Kahn will explore international education through the eyes of a cultural anthropologist at a lecture at UB on April 25.

Kahn’s talk, titled “Ethnographic Internationalization: Anthropological Lessons in International Education and Global Learning,” will take place at 4 p.m. in the Buffalo Room, 1 Capen Hall, North Campus.

The talk is free and open to the public.

She will discuss how ethnographic expertise is essential in the field of international education and how anthropology provides practical and intellectual frameworks to guide global research and the internationalization of campuses, curricula, and classrooms.

Kahn, who earned a PhD in anthropology from UB, is assistant dean for international education and global initiatives, and executive director of the Center for the Study of Global Change at the School of Global and International Studies at Indiana University. She is also director of IU’s PhD minor in global studies and immediate past president of the Association of International Educational Administrators.

The author of numerous scholarly articles and books, she has spent the past decade advancing comprehensive and curriculum internationalization at colleges and universities.
