Introduction: Accepting the Challenges to Our Ways of “Knowing”

Abstract

This issue of Frontiers has an amazing and diverse array of research articles, essays, case studies and a special section on the important issue of global education in Historically-Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Across this diverse work there is however one important thread that is core to the mission and scope of our journal to “communicate the latest research on education abroad within a multi-disciplinary forum to reflect on critical issues and concerns for academics and professional practitioners”. To realize this mission, we engage across various disciplines, topics, perspectives, and methodologies to address complex opportunities and challenges within global education today and in the future. However, one central question remains at the forefront of all that we do in achieving our purpose—how to we address challenges to our ways of “knowing?”
