The globalization of American style higher education is a field of
study that is undergoing a significant phase with the current
expansion of American branch campuses and curricula around the
world. This volume contributes to the scholarship on the project of
implementing and expanding U.S. influenced curricula in the Middle
East and Asia. Many of the branch campus projects are only a few
decades old making this a liminal moment in the translation and
development of higher education worldwide that needs to be
captured. What are the challenges, opportunities, and
considerations faculty encounter in classrooms in the Middle East,
Eastern Europe and Asia? How do faculty translate western higher
educational principles in new contexts? Projects like the
multiversity international branch campuses of Education City, in
Doha, Qatar, demonstrate the interest of foreign governments in
western education and training. Other collaborations, like the Yale
National University of Singapore College, demonstrate a
nationalistic approach, where the nation's premiere university
maintains as high a profile as the invited collaborator. Such a
wide range in mission and matriculation of students deserves
further study. We open the conversation about the complex teaching
and learning environment of American style education in a global
context. Contributions include case studies, pedagogical
interventions, and reflections. This volume features chapters by
faculty teaching at international branch campuses (IBCs) or
institutions using western curricula, such as the worldwide,
privatized American University system
