Abstract
The burgeoning and ubiquitous process of internationalization of higher education has greatly contributed to the increasing presence of international students in Canadian universities. Nonetheless, there is a paucity of studies on how post-secondary teachers perceive the booming population of international students and the ways in which internationalization has been affecting them. Especially in a country that takes pride in their cultural pluralism, such as Canada, it is of chief relevance to understand the way in which professors have been making sense of internationalization and reacting to such diversity. This critical phenomenological study aims to depict how university teachers perceive their international students, how they experience internationalization and the impact of this process on their practices. Additionally, findings will inform the extent to which internationalized universities have been a hospitable place for international students, allowing critiques to emerge towards a more welcoming and democratic education.
