For many faculty the desire and need to go abroad is inherent in
the nature of their discipline. For others the thought of going
abroad for scholarly purposes is completely alien. This book, which
was sponsored by the Council for International Exchange of
Scholars, looks in depth at the international experience of
American faculty. Goodwin and Nacht examine the type of faculty who
go abroad and their reasons for doing so, the incentives and the
disincentives for faculty travel abroad, the attitudes prevalent on
US campuses toward such activities, the special obstacles and risks
faced by faculty who commit themselves to an international
experience and the effects of foreign experience among the faculty
on the internationalisation of US campuses. In preparing the book,
the authors conducted extensive interviews with faculty at
thirty-seven institutions of higher education.
