Opis

During the last few decades, many university presidents and provosts have expressed an intent to internationalize their institutions to equip students with the broad intellectual skills necessary to succeed in the global twenty-first century. However, these well-intentioned calls for internationalization have remained little more than rhetoric. Obstacles embedded in developing faculty engagement in internationalization are largely responsible for this inability to turn rhetoric into reality. This groundbreaking second edition of The Twenty-First Century University identifies what successful institutions have done to overcome endogenous challenges and successfully engage faculty in the internationalization process. The book provides updated case studies on two exemplary institutions, demonstrating how these institutions operationalized Childress' "5 I's of Faculty Engagement in Internationalization Model" (including intentionality, investments, infrastructure, institutional networks, and individual support) from 2007 through 2017. This book also presents a typology of strategies for faculty engagement in internationalization that higher education leaders can use to increase their faculty's international teaching, research, and service on campus, regionally, and abroad. Finally, this second edition includes a model of faculty engagement in internationalization within academic departments that institutional leaders can use to ensure that explicit connections are made between internationalization and individual disciplines.

Recenzje

"Delving into a critical but sometimes thorny aspect of internationalization-how to meaningfully engage faculty-this book is a must-read for campus leadership and international education administrators. The book is a field guide as much as it is a theoretical resource about the analytical and practical framings of faculty engagement in the field of international education. Whether one needs to move strategic plans toward implementation, seeks new models for engaging faculty, or wants a unique entry point to better understand comprehensive internationalization, this book will greatly enhance one's understanding and one's ability to advance the critical role of faculty in international education." Hilary Kahn, former President of the Association of International Education Administrators and Assistant Dean for International Education and Global Initiatives, Indiana University
