Despite growing numbers of international academics globally, there is a
dearth of works exploring success stories, and the barriers and
opportunities of being an international academic. Academic Mobility and
International Academics offers personal experiences and guidance from a
truly international suite of scholars exploring their academic journeys
and addressing intersectional topics on academic mobility including
perspectives from early career researchers, university leaders, mentors,
LGBTIQ scholars, and more.
Throughout this timely collection, chapter authors offer insight into
overall academic employment experiences, including their motivations and
challenges in steering their academic career. They offer guidance on how
international academics can harness their career aspirations, across
both leadership and non-leadership positions and how internationality in
academic careers is evolving in these current times.
Essential reading for any scholar or postgraduate student looking to
work outside of their home nation, this hopeful and insightful text will
provide guidance, inspiration, and real-life examples of how to survive
and thrive as an international scholar.
