Tiivistelmä

This chapter suggests that Jeff Thompson's interest in the fields of science education and international education should not be viewed as separate but as inextricably linked. It considers how his background in science might have steered and shaped his scholarship in international education. The chapter argues that just as science is a practice with its distinctive set of virtues, so is international education concerned with an exploration of the ways in which the world is globally interconnected and interdependent. It shows how a better understanding of the virtues of science has the potential to help in attempts to internationalise student experiences of the world. The moral demands that an increasingly globalised world makes on education thus involve an ethical appreciation of both science and internationalisation.
