Breaking Borders, Building Bridges

Abstract

The chapter delves into the multifaceted challenges arising from globalisation and inclusivity in academic research, recognising both opportunities and complexities within this evolving landscape. As academic research increasingly transcends national and cultural boundaries, the impacts of globalisation on inclusivity become apparent, presenting hurdles tied to economic inequality, cultural homogenisation the loss of national sovereignty. The examination aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of their implications for knowledge production while proposing strategies and initiatives to enhance inclusivity in academic research. It recognises the interconnected nature of the global academic landscape and the necessity of addressing barriers to inclusivity. Moreover, the chapter goes beyond mere analysis by proposing strategies and initiatives to foster inclusivity in academic research.
