This book provides a critical review of the impact of international
academics on teaching practices in higher education. As borders and
boundaries become increasingly blurred and virtual citizenship
starts to impact on ways of working, being able to teach seamlessly
across cultures and political divides will be critical to ensuring
a thriving higher education sector. This book captures the impact
of academic mobility on teaching practices which have been informed
by academics' original cultures being modified to align with those
of a host culture. The book comprises three thematic sections which
take the reader through the various stages of the
internationalisation of higher education teaching practice. It
starts with how teaching identities are constructed and influenced
by culture and geopolitical factors and concludes with an
exploration into the emergence of the global teaching practitioner
who is able to work seamlessly across borders and boundaries. The
core sections include: i) the geopolitics of teaching identities,
ii) a sense of belonging and the lived experience of the academic
nomad and iii) academic transition, from migration to integration.
Providing practical tools for improving both students' learning
experiences and academics' classroom practices this volume will be
of use to researchers, students, and practitioners from the social
sciences (specially business, management, and education) as well as
foreign language tutors and TEFL practitioners. Human resource
professionals, recruiters, and trainers responsible for recruiting,
training, and developing international higher education staff will
also find this book to be of interest.
