Looking through the history of higher education in Zimbabwe, we argue that the
concept of internationalization of higher education is not new to Zimbabwe.
Understandings, manifestations, and processes of the phenomenon over time are
examined to reveal the nuances of the internationalization process in its current
mode of occurrence, in an attempt to not only understand it in its colonial and
postcolonial manifestation but to situate it within a wider decolonial project. Using a
decolonial lens, this article explores various processes of internationalization in
Zimbabwe’s higher education institutions (HEIs), viewing them either as continuities
or disruptions.
