Experiences of Immigrant Professors : Challenges, Cross-Cultural Differences, and Lessons for Success PDF
by Charles B. Hutchison
Part of the Routledge Research in Higher Education series
Description
Educational institutions all over the world continue to attract the services of foreign-born scholars.
In addition to the culture shock that immigrants experience in unfamiliar countries, these scholars often undergo "pedagogical shock." Through autobiographical accounts of foreign-born professors from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the US, this volume examines the experiences of foreign-born professors around the world to provide insight on the curricular, school-systemic, and sociological differences and challenges that are encountered, and how to help resolve them.
It will help administrators, institutions, and immigration and comparative education scholars understand the cross-cultural challenges and coping strategies that define the private and professional lives of foreign-born professors across the globe.
