Academic inbreeding - appointing one's own graduates for academic
positions - is a controversial but surprisingly common practice
internationally. This book is the first comparative analysis of the
phenomenon - the causes, implications, and future of inbreeding.
The internationalization of higher education is a world-wide
phenomenon, subject to multiple interpretations at national,
institutional and individual levels. Still, much of the mainstream
literature on this topic is concentrated on a small number of
countries and a narrow range of key topics. To address this gap,
The Future Agenda for Internationalization in Higher Education
offers a broader set of perspectives from outside the dominant
English-speaking and Western European paradigms, while
simultaneously focusing on dimensions of internationalization that
are known to be under-researched. Additionally, the editors give
primacy to next generation perspectives, not only to amplify our
current understanding of key issues around the world, but also to
shine a light on possible future agendas for this important aspect
of contemporary higher education. The notions of new modes, new
topics, and new contexts frame the analysis, providing new pathways
for exploring and understanding distinct aspects of this crucially
important phenomenon in higher education around the world. Key
topics covered include: the current state of research and analysis
on the internationalization of higher education aspects of
internationalization and international activities which have not
previously been explored or have limited current exposure how
research into internationalization is conducted, showcasing
innovative methodological practices a synthesis of common themes
and differences in relation to the future agenda of topics, modes
and contexts for internationalization an identification of key
areas for future research A thoughtful guide for considering the
many possible directions ahead for internationalization in higher
education, The Future Agenda for Internationalization in Higher
Education is essential reading for academic researchers and
graduate students, as well as international education practitioners
and leaders keen to make sense of evolving trends in this field.
In an interconnected and globally competitive environment, faculty
mobility across countries has become widespread, yet is little
understood. Grounded in qualitative methodology, this volume offers
a cutting-edge examination of internationally mobile academics
today and explores the approaches and strategies that institutions
pursue to recruit and integrate international teachers and scholars
into local universities. Providing a range of research-based
insights from case studies in key countries, this resource offers
higher education scholars and administrators a comparative
perspective, helping to explain the impact that international
faculty have on the local university, as well as issues of
retention, promotion, salaries, and the challenges faced by these
internationally mobile academics.
