Responding to the growing need for recruitment and retention of
international talent in higher education institutions globally,
this volume documents the experiences and contribution of
international graduate students, researchers, and faculty. This
text foregrounds perspectives around recruitment, transition,
integration, professional development, and the retention of
scholars originating from, or arriving in, countries including
China, Australia, Iraq, Japan, and the US. By investigating the
support systems that are in place to assist foreign-born faculty
members in institutes of higher education, the text provides
important insights for departments and institutions as they look to
successfully attract and retain global academic talent. Moreover,
the scientific and practical implications of the research presented
in the text directly informs institutional policy, working towards
more effective, inclusive, and equitable ways to support
international faculty. This text will benefit researchers,
academics, and educators with an interest in higher education,
international and comparative education, and, more specifically,
those involved with faculty development programs. The text will
also support further discussion and reflection around multicultural
education, international teaching and learning, and educational
policy more broadly.
This state-of-the-art Dictionary defines terms employed in
international agreements, national legislation and scholarly legal
studies related to comparative and international environmental law
and the emerging law of climate change. In acknowledgement of
China's growing role in this arena, each term also includes its
pinyin translation in order to facilitate access to the Mandarin
variants.The international community is developing increasingly
complex environmental provisions and participating in a number of
international treaties and agreements related to environmental law
and regulation. The complicated and highly specific nature of
environmental law has led to the development of localized
terminology that is not easily understood outside its country of
origin. Jointly prepared by scholars in China and the US, the
Dictionary provides a linguistic bridge between English and Chinese
speakers as well as an essential reference for those interpreting
and applying international environmental law, multilateral
environmental agreements, and domestic laws that implement these
treaties. Students, scholars and practitioners in the area of
environmental law will find this groundbreaking Dictionary an
invaluable addition to their libraries.

This timely volume explores the current and future state of hybrid
and remote work in higher education from national, regional, and
global perspectives. Today, colleges and universities worldwide
must ensure that they have adequate information and communications
technology (ICT) infrastructure, equipment, and systems to adapt to
the “new normal” post-COVID-19. Hybrid and remote work can be a
source of boosting productivity and advancing institutional change
in higher education. Common within the management and leadership
literature, hybrid and remote work is an understudied phenomenon in
higher education administration. This book investigates the rapid
rise of remote and hybrid work during and after the global pandemic
and what it means for the future of higher education in the United
States and abroad. By developing a comprehensive, research-based
knowledge and framework this book seeks to equip and empower
teacher-scholars and practitioners to operate safely, securely, and
efficiently in a remote or hybrid environment.
Growing up in China while educated in Japan and the US, the author
has in the past few decades both witnessed and actively
participated in the historical process of legal transformations in
contemporary China. Through a series of academic contributions, as
well as meetings, activities and memberships with policymakers and
practitioners, the author has spared no effort in applying his
theoretical scholarship to real, concrete practices. He has made
significant contributions to the building of a rule-of-law system
in China, with great social influences. The publishing of this book
is to share with English-speaking readers his insights,
experiences, and practices related to the institutional undertaking
of building the rule of law in China. It offers a legal perspective
on some of the cutting-edge issues in our society at large (e.g.
risk and uncertainty, AI network, the COVID-19 pandemic, and big
data).
The boys love (BL) genre was created for girls and women by young
female manga (comic) artists in early 1970s Japan to challenge
oppressive gender and sexual norms. Over the years, BL has seen
almost irrepressible growth in popularity and since the 2000s has
become a global media phenomenon, weaving its way into anime, prose
fiction, live-action dramas, video games, audio dramas, and fan
works. BL's male-male romantic and sexual relationships have found
a particularly receptive home in other parts of Asia, where strong
local fan communities and locally produced BL works have garnered a
following throughout the region, taking on new meanings and
engendering widespread cultural effects. Queer Transfigurations is
the first detailed examination of the BL media explosion across
Asia. The book brings together twenty-one scholars exploring BL
media, its fans, and its sociocultural impacts in a dozen countries
in East, Southeast, and South Asia--and beyond. Contributors draw
on their expertise in an array of disciplines and fields, including
anthropology, fan studies, gender and sexuality studies, history,
literature, media studies, political science, and sociology to shed
light on BL media and its fandoms. Queer Transfigurations reveals
the far-reaching influences of the BL genre, demonstrating that it
is truly transnational and transcultural in diverse cultural
contexts. It has also helped bring about positive changes in the
status of LGBT(Q) people and communities as well as enlighten local
understandings of gender and sexuality throughout Asia. In short,
Queer Transfigurations shows that, some fifty years after the first
BL manga appeared in print, the genre is continuing to reverberate
and transform lives.
