Michael B. Smithee, Ed.D. Syracuse University (retired), Smithee Associates, LLC, United States ABSTRACT What follows are my recollections of how international education evolved in the nearly 50 years of my engagement in the field. This personal view of what happened in the development of the field comes from my experiences before and after starting my career. I will also include my recollections of how the term “international educators” arose, technological changes, events, and circumstances along the way that influenced our thinking about the field and its members: international educators. Spoiler Alert: We got here because people and organizations in the field before and after the year 2000 had a vision and displayed both an urgency and patience that required pivoting and resilience to deliver the knowledge and processes to make the field stable and viable. Keywords: Concepts, Definitions, Events, International Education Evolution, Leadership, Profession

More than 40 years ago, recognizing that higher education would have to take responsibility for educating Americans about other world cultures and societies, Congress passed the National Defense Education Act (later known as the Higher Education Act). Title VI of this act has provided extensive support for foreign languages and area studies development in the nation's universities and colleges. As a result, millions of Americans have been able to acquire knowledge about other parts of the world. Today, there are new issues, demands, and perspectives. Americans are more likely than ever to encounter different cultures, business practices, histories, ideologies, and ways of life. In addition, the United States is increasingly called upon to intervene or mediate in regional and local crises far beyond its borders. U.S. educational institutions must continue to help citizens to have informed opinions about complex international problems. Changing Perspectives on International Education is designed to be used by administrators and planners in U.S. education. It covers the field of international studies as it has developed in the United States, from its beginnings and accomplishments under Title VI to the current paradigmatic shifts taking place in research, teaching, and outreach. A major section is devoted to internationalizing the curriculum of K-12 schools. It concludes with a look at future trends and how they may affect international scholarship and training in the new century. It also provides an extensive bibliography of international resources.
