Reviews

A valuable insight into how diverse, and vividly complex are the lives, expectations and negotiated realities of international academics ... The stories shed light on the complexities of the process and the state of transition, adaptation and negotiation; as well as the associated sense of vulnerability and otherness in relation to the expectations and drivers of their institutions, and of course, the HE sector. * Journal of Pedagogic Development * A brilliant collection of theoretically grounded personal experiences of teaching in foreign higher educational environments. A must read for researchers and academics in Higher Education. * Felix Maringe, Professor, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa * In this stimulating book social science and people's lives converge. Cross-border mobility has now reached such a scale as to continually enrich the education systems that people move between. This aggregated transformation is made up of many smaller bio-transformations, every one of them distinctive and enriching of others, as Academics' Individual Teaching Journeys shows us. * Simon Marginson, Director of the ESRC/HEFCE Centre for Global Higher Education, University College London, UK *
