In this article, we consider possible futures of internationalization in the context of today’s many overlapping global challenges and crises. We argue that how one conceptualizes and responds to these challenges and crises will inform distinct approaches to internationalization. In addition to reviewing these different approaches, we emphasize the possibilities offered by a decolonial approach to internationalization. Beyond considering what a decolonial future of internationalization might entail, we also consider the complexities and circularities that often emerge in efforts to actually implement decolonizing changes in higher education.
