This research explores how editorial advisory board members across four highly ranked international higher education–focused journals understand higher education internationalization generally, and internationalization of the curriculum (IoC) specifically. Notionally, as gatekeepers, editorial advisory board members hold a powerful strategic position in the scholarly debates that characterize an active discipline, and can indirectly assert a strong influence over the academic direction of the field(s) to which they belong. All editorial advisory members for the journals Higher Education, Studies in Higher Education, Higher Education Research & Development, and the Journal of Studies in International Education were invited to contribute to this research with 25 (N = 25, 30%) consenting to participate. Utilizing qualitative, semi-structured interviewing, participants discussed their views on higher education internationalization, IoC, and the importance of these in the contemporary university. Participants also discussed what dimensions of IoC need to be further addressed in higher education discourses and research, and opportunities and challenges they foresee concerning higher education internationalization now and into the future. Findings reveal, for participants, internationalization continues to be perceived as a multivocal, largely Anglo-European, and neoliberal enterprise which is at a crossroad, and needs to be reimagined for the betterment of all in society. Collectively, participants draw attention to a lack of criticality and problematization within higher education internationalization discourses, and highlighted the need for research, scholarship, and academic leaders to expand the focus of IoC to address future global challenges and needs.

这项研究探索了四种以国际高等教育为重点的期刊的编辑顾问委员会成员如何总体上理解高等教育的国际化，尤其是课程的国际化（IoC）。名义上，作为看门人，编辑顾问委员会的成员在活跃于一门学科的学术辩论中具有强大的战略地位，并且可以间接地对其所属领域的学术方向产生强烈影响。邀请了《高等教育》，《高等教育研究》，《高等教育研究与发展》和《国际教育研究杂志》的所有编辑顾问成员，以25（N= 25，30％）同意参加。通过定性，半结构化访谈，参与者讨论了他们对高等教育国际化，IoC的看法以及这些观点在当代大学中的重要性。与会者还讨论了在高等教育的话语和研究中需要进一步解决IoC的哪些方面，以及他们对于现在和将来的高等教育国际化所面临的机遇和挑战。研究结果表明，对于参与者而言，国际化仍然被认为是多语言的，很大程度上是英欧和新自由主义的企业，正处在十字路口，需要对其进行重新构想，以改善社会中的所有人。总的来说，
