This study explored the experience of foreign language faculty in American colleges and universities. Foreign language faculty, because of the gender make-up of the field, their employment status, and their intellectual reputation are a particularly marginalized subset of the professoriate. Therefore, by studying their experience, it is possible to gain insights into the causes and effects of faculty marginalization in general--insights that are much needed in order to distribute academic power more evenly. In addition, in an increasingly globalized world, foreign language as a field of study and teaching makes important contributions to higher education, the U.S. economy, and more broadly, the promotion of cultural awareness and global understanding.
The study revealed that foreign language faculty population in terms of faculty status and rank. Women, faculty in the "less commonly taught languages," and responded to their marginalization in different ways, with faculty in the less commonly taught languages working most proactively to improve their status. Faculty administrative duties, such as committee service, appear to be a key way that faculty can work to alleviate their own marginalization, and participants also offered a variety of suggestions for institutional policy changes that would improve their experience.

International Education at the Crossroads captures the essence and complexity of international education in an interconnected and globalized world. Written by leading scholars, international educators, and policy makers, the 26 essays in this volume take stock of the unpredictable landscape of international education and demonstrate why international higher education is more essential now than ever before. Responding to a timely global moment where education and international engagement are being redefined and practiced in new ways, the authors call for a reconsideration of paradigms and critical reflection of the entire field of international education. At the same time, the authors show how international education is an imperative for the future of learning and the world, and also, crucially, that this work cannot be done in a silo. International Education at the Crossroads offers readers a chance to join in the conversation that is as global as it is meaningful in communities, the lives of learners, and institutions around the world. International education requires that everyone the world over work together to produce new knowledge, to navigate the "crossroads," and to collectively chart the directions in which the field will move into the future.
