Download or read book Internationalizing the Academy written by Gilbert W. Merkx and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internationalizing the Academy provides a detailed look at efforts to bring ambitious and expanding portfolios of international programs to US campuses. At the heart of the volume are accounts by ten of the nation's most experienced senior international officers that explore crucial aspects of their work. The result is a singular--and uniquely useful--resource for leaders and policy makers in the higher education field, coming at a time when colleges and universities are urgently scaling up their international ventures. "Merkx and Nolan have put together a stellar group of US university leaders whose candid insights and experiences on internationalizing the academy will inspire and guide other leaders in internationalizing their institutions. This is a must-read for university leaders and for those who aspire to lead their institutions forward in this global century." --Darla K. Deardorff, executive director, Association of International Education Administrators "This remarkable volume of essays provides unique insiders' accounts of the struggles and the triumphs of the pioneering generation of Senior International Officers (SIOs) in US higher education. The contributors provide remarkably unvarnished autobiographical accounts of their efforts to institutionalize a truly global approach to administration at a wide variety of college and university campuses." --Stephen E. Hanson, vice provost, International Affairs and director, Reves Center for International Studies, College of William & Mary "This book is a valuable compilation of personal experiences from those who were Senior International Officers at higher education institutions during the last few decades. The book connects diverse SIO experiences with varied institutional pathways to internationalization, and also highlights several important aspects of leadership." --John K.

Book Synopsis The Internationalization of the Academy by : Futao Huang
Download or read book The Internationalization of the Academy written by Futao Huang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-25 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a nuanced empirical assessment of the extent to which the academic profession is internationalized at the beginning of the 21st century. It indicates which are the most internationalized academic activities, and focuses on specific topics such as physical mobility for study or professional purposes, teaching abroad or in another language, research collaboration with foreign colleagues, and publication and dissemination outside one’s native country or in another language. It places the main theme in the wider context of the history of higher education’s internationalization. It provides explanations on what drives and deters academics from international activity, and documents some of the consequences that internationalization has on academic work and productivity. This study is based on a survey of 25,000 academics working at higher education institutions in 18 countries and Hong Kong on five continents. Comparing data from the 1992 Carnegie International study to the 2007 CAP survey, relying on respondents’ perceptions of change, and comparing different academic generations, it offers valuable insights on changes in the internationalization of the academy.

Download or read book Realizing Internationalization’s Fullest Potential for Transforming the 21st Century Academy written by and published by STAR SCHOLARS PRESS. This book was released on with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harvey Charles, Ph.D. University of Minnesota, USA ABSTRACT Colleges and universities have a unique role to play in responding to the global challenges and opportunities of the 21st century, and international education is ideally suited to lead in this regard. Yet, be it in terms of financing, the selection of appropriate leadership, a preoccupation with student mobility, an insufficient engagement with DEI, or the absence of a full embrace of global learning, international education continues to fail to realize its fullest potential in the academy. That the field has developed its own body of professional practice and knowledge means that SIOs have a map to guide their work, which can ultimately lead to the institutionalization of international education on campuses. In this regard, the SIO has an increasingly indispensable role to play—a role that can only help to assure greater relevance and success for those institutions that embrace a robust and strategic internationalization agenda. Keywords: Global Competence, Global Engagement, Higher Education, International Education, Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI), Senior International Officer
Book Synopsis Internationalizing the University by : Yvonne Turner
Download or read book Internationalizing the University written by Yvonne Turner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-03-10 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization is changing the face of Higher Education across the world. Academics and students today are internationally mobiles and unprecedented numbers of international exchanges are cross-border education projects are being developed. The implications for individual universities are significant: international students can bring much needed revenues to boost university coffers and stimulate university classrooms but they also have high expectations and demands. This book discusses the implications for those involved in managing the organizational processes and those designing programmes and supporting the student experience. A key concern in the text is that of reciprocal internationalization - the importance for universities to develop within an internationally-integrated environment rather than as national universities which accommodate the needs of people from other countries into their pre-existing practices. The emphasis throughout the discussion is therefore on the development of inter-cultural competences for university people supported by sustainable international management practices.
Book Synopsis The Changing Academic Profession by : Ulrich Teichler
Download or read book The Changing Academic Profession written by Ulrich Teichler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview on the major findings of a questionnaire survey of academic profession in international perspective. More than 25,000 professors and junior staff at universities and other institutions of higher education at almost 20 countries from all over the world provide information on their working situation, their views and activities. The study “The Changing Academic Profession” is the second major study of its kind, and changes of views and activities are presented through a comparison of the findings with those of the earlier study undertaken in the early 1990s. Major themes are the academics’ perception of their societal and institutional environments, the views on the major tasks of teaching, research and services, their professional preferences and actual activities, their career, their perceived influence and their overall job satisfaction. Emphasis is placed on the influence of recent changes in higher education: the internationalisation and globalisation, the increasing expectation to provide evidence of the relevance of academic work, and finally the growing power of management at higher education institutions. Overall, the academics surveyed show that worldwide discourses and trends in higher education put their mark on the academic profession, but differences by country continue to be noteworthy. Academics consider themselves to be more strongly exposed to mechanism of regulations, incentives and sanctions as well as various assessments than in the past; yet their own freedom, and responsibilities and influence shape their identity more strongly and are reflected in widespread professional satisfaction.

This groundbreaking handbook serves as a guide to internationalization of higher education and offers new strategies for its further development and expansion in the years to come. With a decidedly global approach, this volume brings together leading experts from around the world to illustrate the increasing importance of internationalization.

Book Synopsis Scholars in the Changing American Academy by : William K. Cummings
Download or read book Scholars in the Changing American Academy written by William K. Cummings and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-12-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the nature of education generally, and higher education in particular, changes irrevocably, it is crucial to understand the informed opinions of those closest to the institutions of learning. This book, based on a survey of academics in 19 nations and conducted by leading global scholars, is a thorough sounding of the attitudes of academics to their working environment. As the post-WWII liberal consensus crumbles, higher education is increasingly viewed as a private and personal investment in individual social mobility rather than as a public good and, ipso facto, a responsibility of public authorities. The incursion of corporate culture into academe, with its ‘stakeholders’, ‘performance pay’ and obsession with ‘competitiveness’ is a matter of bitter debate, with some arguing that short-termism is obviating epoch-making research which by definition requires patience and persistence in the face of the risk of failure. This book highlights these and many other key issues facing the academic profession in the US and around the world at the beginning of the 21st century and examines the issues from the perspective of those who are at the front line of change. This group has numerous concerns, not least in the US, where government priorities are shifting with growing budget pressures to core activities such as basic education, health and welfare. Drawing too on comparable surveys conducted in 1992, the book charts the actual contours of change as reflected in the opinions of academics. Critically, the volume explicitly compares and contrasts the situation of American academics with that of academics in other advanced and developing economies. Such an assessment is critical both for Americans to chart the future of their indigenous tertiary enterprise, but also for shaping the response of the nations around the world who contemplate applying the American model to their own national systems.
Book Synopsis Internationalising Higher Education by : Elspeth Jones
Download or read book Internationalising Higher Education written by Elspeth Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-05-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With increasing numbers of international students, this book explores how best to broaden the approaches to learning and teaching in the higher/further education environment. Rather than seeing internationalization as a problem to be addressed, this text embraces the opportunities for the enrichment of the learning environment through a values-driven approach to internationalization. Taking a positive and practical approach to internationalizing higher education, the book considers a range of questions about how to bring in global perspectives to the learning environment and education provision. Packed with case studies and vignettes from around the globe, the book proposes that the international student lies at the heart of the university as a source of cultural capital and intentional diversity, enriching the learning experience, enhancing staff experience and building a more powerful learning community.
Book Synopsis The Senior International Officer as Change Agent by : John D. Heyl
Download or read book The Senior International Officer as Change Agent written by John D. Heyl and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by Distributed by StylusThis new edition reflects the dramatic changes that have taken place across the world in higher education in the decade since it first was published, and addresses how they specifically impact international education and inform the role of senior international officer (SIO) today.Declining public investment in higher education and a negative political climate have increasingly led to the commercialization of international education activities and the expectation they should pay for themselves by levying fees or seeking outside funding. In addition, today’s international education leadership faces several contradictory realities. While inexorable trends in globalization continue to stimulate higher levels of participation in international study and exchange, its impacts – such as increased migration, global terrorism and the populist resistance they have provoked – are shifting institutional priorities from those of greater openness and global understanding to those of profitability and security.Facing these issues and the global competition for student talent at a time of declining enrollments; the impacts of technology; the increasing diversity on campus; pressures to partner across borders; changing emphases in institutional mission; and the expectations of both parents and students in gaining a global perspective during university studies, it’s clear that the key issue facing SIOs is managing change as colleges and universities seek to strengthen, professionalize, and centralize – or in some cases decentralize – their international offices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study reports on the state of international education in the United States, primarily at the undergraduate level.

Book Synopsis Academics in Exile by : Vera Axyonova
Download or read book Academics in Exile written by Vera Axyonova and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restrictions on academic freedom, persecution and armed conflict have forced many scholars into exile. So far, the professional trajectories of these scholars and their contributions to knowledge exchange have not been studied comprehensively. The contributors to this volume address the situations and networks of scholars in exile, the challenges they face in their host countries and the opportunities they use. These issues are highly relevant to discussions about the moral economies of higher education institutions and support programs. Although the contributions largely focus on Germany as a host country, they also offer telling examples of forced mobility in the Global South, including both contemporary and historical perspectives.
Book Synopsis Internationalizing Media Studies by : Daya Kishan Thussu
Download or read book Internationalizing Media Studies written by Daya Kishan Thussu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosion of transnational information flows, made possible by new technologies and institutional changes (economic, political and legal) has profoundly affected the study of global media. At the same time, the globalization of media combined with the globalization of higher education means that the research and teaching of the subject faces immediate and profound challenges, not only as the subject of enquiry but also as the means by which researchers and students undertake their studies. Edited by a leading scholar of global communication, this collection of essays by internationally-acclaimed scholars from around the world aims to stimulate a debate about the imperatives for internationalizing media studies by broadening its remit, including innovative research methodologies, taking account of regional and national specificities and pedagogic necessities warranted by the changing profile of students and researchers and the unprecedented growth of media in the non-Western world. Transnational in its perspectives, Internationalizing Media Studies is a much-needed guide to the internationalization of media and its study in a global context.
