Refugees and Higher Education provides a cross-disciplinary lens on
one American university's approach to studying the policies,
practices, and experiences associated with the higher education of
refugee background students. The focus is not only on refugee
education as an issue of access and equity, but also on this
phenomenon as seen through the lens of internationalization. What
competencies are called for among university faculty and staff
welcoming refugee-background students to their institutional
contexts? How might "distance learning" be considered anew? These
challenges and opportunities for institutional growth will be
closely considered by this group of authors from educational
leadership, social work, curriculum development, and higher
education itself. They address key world regions, and sub-topics
ranging from online education in refugee camps to the Brazilian and
Colombian responses to the emerging crisis in Venezuela. Scholars
researching refugee education cross-nationally often find that
refugee education literature is parsed by disciplinary field. This
book, in contrast, offers a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary
overview of refugee education issues around the world. These
perspectives also provide key insights for faculty and staff at
higher education institutions that currently enroll asylees or
refugees, as well as those that may do so in the future.
Academic mobbing, a bullying behavior that targets a specific
faculty member, is growing in higher education. It is a dangerous
phenomenon that often attacks competent researchers and scholars
who are ethical, outspoken in support of others, and normally
reflect professional achievement that is coveted, resented, and
perceived as intimidating by lesser faculty and administrators.
Therefore, it is important to understand how academic mobbing
begins, expands amongst faculty and administrators, is actually
supported by faculty and administrators by either proactive efforts
or actively ignoring, and results in a weakening of the higher
education institution due to the reputation being detrimentally,
and many times irreparably, impacted. Confronting Academic Mobbing
in Higher Education: Personal Accounts and Administrative Action is
an essential research publication that provides comprehensive
research on the development of academic mobbing as a prevalent form
of bullying within higher education and seeks to explore solutions
and provide support for professionals currently dealing with this
phenomenon. Highlighting a range of topics such as ethics, faculty
outcomes, and narcissism, this book is ideal for higher education
faculty, deans, department chairs, provosts, chancellors,
university presidents, rectors, administrators, academicians,
researchers, human resources faculty, policymakers, and academic
leaders.
This edited volume offers an updated picture and state-of-the-art
regarding the challenges faced by universities all over the world
derived from the COVID-19 pandemic and discusses the strategies
designed and put in play by the universities to move forward in
times of confinement and prospects of new modes of functioning in
the aftermath of this exceptional global situation.
The diversity and Inclusion movement in corporations and higher
education has mostly fallen short of its most authentic goals. This
is because it relies upon the dominant worldview that created and
creates the problems it attempts to address. Rediscovering and
applying our original Indigenous worldview offers a remedy that can
bring forth a deeper and broader respect for diversity, and a
different way to understand and honor it. This book offers a
transformative learning opportunity for preserving diverse
environments at every level, one that may be a matter of human
survival.
In 2015, Laura Rumbley put forward the notion that higher
education-in a highly complex, globally interdependent world-would
be wise to commit to an agenda of "intelligent
internationalization" (I2). I2 turns on the notion that "the
development of a thoughtful alliance between the research,
practitioner, and policy communities," in tandem with key decision
makers in leadership roles, is essential for institutions and
systems of higher education seeking sustained relevance and
vitality through their internationalization efforts. Does
"intelligent internationalization" make sense? What is faulty,
misguided, or missing from this analysis that could be strengthened
through further consideration? On the other hand, what speaks to
its value as an idea or agenda to advance the way that
internationalization is understood and enacted in the world? These
issues will be addressed in this book which builds on a 2018
Symposium on Intelligent Internationalization.

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) around the world are being
pressured to become more entrepreneurial. However, the concept of
an entrepreneurial university has remained elusive, including ideas
that range from supporting students and staff with new ventures to
encouraging partnerships between academics and entrepreneurs. New
research is needed on strategies and practices that can be
implemented by universities in order to become more innovative and
supportive. Strategies for the Creation and Maintenance of
Entrepreneurial Universities uses findings from a major EU-funded
five country project (THEI2.0) focused on enhancing the
implementation and impact of the EU-OECD's HEInnovate tool to offer
valuable strategies to help universities become more
entrepreneurial, especially in the current COVID-19 and
post-COVID-19 environments. This book's core value lies in the fact
that it draws on real experiences and practices of those in this
field, articulates key takeaway messages, and suggests potential
strategies and actions to create impact. Covering topics such as
campus incubation, policy strategies, and regional development,
this book acts as an essential resource for senior academic
leaders, academic managers, entrepreneurship/entrepreneurial
educators, incubation center managers, technology transfer
managers, researchers, students, and administrators seeking to make
their university more entrepreneurial, maintain their
entrepreneurial status, critically reflect on their current level
of entrepreneurialism, explore new opportunities to enhance their
entrepreneurial reputation, or implement strategies to consolidate
their entrepreneurial endeavors within the current challenging
environment.
