Abstract
There is a clarion call to internationalize Canadian higher education through the formation of partnerships between Northern (read here Canadian) institutions and Global South communities (AUCC, 2010; Beck, 2012). Underlying this trend is the idea that universities, as a source of knowledge production, are a natural complement to economic activities (Marginson, 2007; Delhi & Taylor, 2006), and as such, may be called on to support economic activities in sites, including the Global South, which continue to contend with trenchant poverty and inequality and have been identified as potentially profitable markets.
