With more than 1000 newspapers, 1100 local radios, 200 television
channels, 3000 online news portals, and over 80 colleges providing
media education and training, news media, and media education are
vibrant fields in Nepal. This book provides a comprehensive
overview of Nepal's news media, including empirical studies,
critical reviews, and theoretical and philosophical analyses
focusing on journalism and contemporary media practices in the
country, using local standpoints and global perspectives. Laying
foundations of academic research and discourse, it explores key
issues about the state of media and journalism practices of Nepal
and situates them against the professional standards of global
journalism and journalism education. The book covers all news
media, including traditional (newspaper, radio, and television) and
digital platforms.
This book presents a showcase of discussions and critical
perspectives about Nepalese higher education. Its chapters cover
topics such as the impacts of local sociopolitical changes and
global forces on public and private education, emerging online and
distance education, administrative and intellectual leadership,
quality assessment, graduate employability, global mobility of
students, and the contributions of global diaspora of Nepalese
scholars. The central questions of the book are: What are some of
the local and global academic interactions in Nepalese higher
education and what are the current challenges and pathways for
advancements and improvements? How can Nepalese higher education
absorb twenty-first century values of quality education as external
forces, while adapting new developments to local needs? How can
scholars interested in Nepalese, South Asian, and international
higher education create opportunities for scholarship and
professional collaboration around research on higher education in
this region of South Asia? What issues and perspectives can
research and scholarship about Nepal's higher education offer to
international discourse in higher education? The book offers
information and resources to international educators interested in
the dynamics of Nepalese and, by implication, South Asian higher
education by introducing key challenges in policy and programs,
innovative changes in curricula, effective approaches in technology
application, and strategies for future integration of global
reforms in education.
Using qualitative data collected from more than twenty universities
across the US, Writing Support for International Graduate Students
describes and theorizes agency- and advocacy-driven practices,
programs, and policies that are most effective in helping
international students learn graduate-level writing and
communication skills. It uses compelling narratives and cases to
illustrate a variety of program models and support practices that
fostered the students' process of academic transition and success.
Employing an ecological framework, the book seeks to advance
academic conversation about how writing scholars/instructors and
program administrators, as well as other academic service
professionals working with this student body, can formulate
policies, develop programs, and implement practices that best help
these students grow as writers and scholars in their disciplines.

This book focuses on critical issues and perspectives concerning
globally mobile students, aspects that have grown in importance
thanks to major geopolitical, economic, and technological changes
around the globe (i.e., in and across major origins and
destinations of international students). Over the past few decades,
the field of international higher education and scholarship has
developed robust areas of research that guide current policy,
programs, and pedagogy. However, many of the established narratives
and wisdoms that dominate research agendas, scope, and foci have
become somewhat ossified and are unable to reflect recent political
upheavals and other changes (e.g. the Brexit, Trump era, and Belt
and Road Initiative) that have disrupted a number of areas
including mobility patterns and recruitment practices,
understanding and supporting students, engagement of global mobile
students with their local counterparts, and the political economy
of international education at large. By re-assessing established
issues and perspectives in light of the emerging global/local
situations, the contributing authors - all experts on international
education - share insights on policies and practices that can help
adapt to emerging challenges and opportunities for institutions,
scholars, and other stakeholders in international higher education.
Including theoretical, empirical, and practitioner-based methods
and perspectives provided by scholars from around the world, the
book offers a unique and intriguing resource.
