International Educators of Illinois is dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice within the field of International Education and amplifying voices that are too often unheard or dismissed. We believe that international education is inextricably tied to systems of oppression. Therefore, as international educators, we have a responsibility to engage in social justice work. As an organization, IEI is committed to combatting systemic oppression and discrimination in its many forms.

Resources for International Educators

IEI has compiled a list of resources pertaining to diversity and inclusion for each of the international education Knowledge Communities. We hope that these resources will better equip you to work with students of diverse backgrounds and advocate for diversity and inclusion at your institution. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and if you have suggestions of resources to add, please complete the suggestion form at the bottom on this page.
