Warm greetings from Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS), Iran.
In this situation, we are focused on the health and safety of our employees and students. We have implemented work-from-home policies to limit our employees’ exposure, and have limited, postponed and suspended our travel, gatherings and events. Regardless of how complex the situation is, we at the TUMS Directorate of International Relations are eager to foster our collaboration with our partners in any field related to Internationalization of Higher Education (IHE). |
|
|
|
|
In light of this, we are organizing a symposium webinar called “Internationalization of Higher Education During Coronavirus Crisis” to be held from 18 to 20 May 2020 with the aim to address some important aspects of higher education impacted by the COVID-19 situation.
We invite you to join us on this webinar since we believe that your valued presence and participation whether as speaker or listener would contribute to the enrichment of this event.
We look forward to seeing you at the TUMS webinar.

Shafik DharamsiUniversity of Texas, USA (Speaker)
|
My work is inspired by the words of the late Oscar Handlin: "a troubled universe can no longer afford the luxury of pursuits confined to an ivory tower … scholarship has to prove its worth not on its own terms, but by service to the nation and the world." The question of how to better prepare the next generation of researchers, educators, and health and human service professionals to be responsive to the wide-ranging inequities in society, and to take an equally broad and multi-dimensional approach to addressing these inequities is one of the most pressing and challenging issues facing higher education today. I have observed that the traditional structure of university departments and colleges is not conducive to high impact, problem oriented, and transformative work. I have dedicated my career to the development of an ethically and civically inspired higher education agenda that fosters interdisciplinarity, community engagement, applied and translational research, transformative approaches to teaching and learning, and an inclusive and pluralistic environment.
