“…Institutions may give students access to a global array of resources and perspectives regardless of physical location by offering online and hybrid learning opportunities (Shah & Satish 2023). Furthermore, by collaborating with universities worldwide and conducting virtual exchange programmes, institutions may encourage internationalisation and provide their faculty, staff and students with a global perspective (Coryell et al 2022).…”

Peer-review declarationThe publisher (AOSIS) endorses the South African 'National Scholarly Book Publishers Forum Best Practice for Peer-Review of Scholarly Books'. The book proposal form was evaluated by our Social Sciences, Humanities, Education and Business Management editorial board. The manuscript underwent an evaluation to compare the level of originality with other published works and was subjected to rigorous two-step peer-review before publication by two technical expert reviewers who did not include the volume editor and were independent of the volume editor, with the identities of the reviewers not revealed to the editor(s) or author(s). The reviewers were independent of the publisher, editor(s) and author(s). The publisher shared feedback on the similarity report and the reviewers' inputs with the manuscript's editor(s) or author(s) to improve the manuscript. Where the reviewers recommended revision and improvements, the editor(s) or author(s) responded adequately to such recommendations. The reviewers commented positively on the scholarly merits of the manuscript and recommended that the book be published. v Research justificationLocal economic development (LED) is at the core of developing a sustainable, inclusive and resilient local region. Local economic development aims to involve all role-players (local government, private sector and community) in the decision-making process in order to create a participatory environment where social and environmental concerns are balanced with economic pursuits. Achieving this is a challenge for local governments in developed and developing regions. The global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has brought about an entirely new set of challenges for local governments, businesses (formal and informal) and policymakers. This book aims to highlight how local economies are impacted during times of a global pandemic from global perspectives.The outbreak of the global COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to developed and less-developed local economies. The book aims to uncover the best practices in responding to a pandemic from regional perspectives and from a trans-disciplinary point of view. Scholars from various spheres in the arts, culture, education, health, environment, business and the public sector present their perspectives on the impacts, responses and consequences for local economies and communities. As a fundamental part of LED, the arts, culture, education, health, environment, business and public sector domains were some of the hardest hit by the pandemic, and the pandemic has certainly exposed the weaknesses of current development policies and calls for new, innovative measures in developing resilient local regions. This book forms an essential part of the development series of the Centre for Local Economic Development (CENLED) as it offers insight into how a global pandemic (COVID-19) impacted LED in various regions and the different responses from different spheres.

In this theory paper we review relevant literature to provide a strong rationale for the essential role of intercultural communication competence in advising international graduate students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). International students make up a significant portion of graduate student enrollments at US universities, especially in STEM disciplines. Research has shown that graduate students' educational experiences are significantly impacted by their relationship with their adviser, yet this relationship is one of the most frequently mentioned challenges by international students. Based on the literature review, we argue that being aware of intercultural competence is essential for STEM faculty to provide positive advising experiences for international graduate students. Despite the promise of intercultural competence promoting effective and healthy advising relationships, there is limited literature about its use at the graduate level in STEM. Because of the huge participation of Chinese students in the US educational system, this paper includes a fictional case study. Using the model of intercultural communication competence, suggestions and strategies are provided in order to offer ideas for STEM faculty to build a healthy relationship with a new Chinese graduate student.

L'articolo presenta le prime evidenze sull'adattamento e la validazione italiana dello Student Measure of Culturally Responsive Teaching volto a misurare le percezioni delle studentesse e degli studenti universitari sulle pratiche didattiche attente alla dimensione culturale in aula. Tale strumento è stato somministrato ad un campione di 336 studentesse e studenti iscritti all'Università di Siena. I dati raccolti hanno permesso di condurre l'analisi fattoriale esplorativa dello strumento, confermando la struttura trifattoriale. La consistenza interna dello Student Measure of Culturally Responsive Teaching e dei fattori emergenti è stata misurata attraverso l'alpha di Cronbach i cui risultati suggeriscono che la versione italiana di tale strumento presenta una buona consistenza interna ed un buon livello di affidabilità anche rispetto alle sue componenti.
