International Faculty in East Asian Higher Education
This edited volume offers fresh insights into the experiences of international faculty in East Asia, highlighting how they adapt to, influence, and are influenced by local environments.
With the global demand for academic work on the rise, more scholars are seeking to advance their careers overseas. East Asia has become a key destination for these international academics, where many institutions depend on recruiting scholars from abroad to act as agents of change and support internationalization efforts. This book provides a thorough analysis of foreign scholars in East Asia’s evolving academic landscape by examining the challenges faced by faculty, administrators, and other stakeholders who have served higher education institutions abroad. This contribution offers new perspectives on the relocation experiences of international academics in East Asia, their adaptation processes, and the extent to which theoretical scholarship aligns with the practical realities of international faculty work.
This book will attract scholars and researchers interested in pursuing faculty work abroad, comparative and international education, higher education, and educational leadership.
