This book ​focuses on the experiences of international academic staff in higher education, particularly examining the influences of issues such as languages, cultures, and personalities. The qualitative approach taken by the authors provides vignettes of varied international contexts, which are then compared and analysed to highlight important considerations for practice in different settings. By exploring the experiences of staff teaching within a language that is not their first language, and in a different cultural context, the authors contribute to a burgeoning area of research, and scholars working on Applied Linguistics, Higher Education, English as a Medium of Instruction and other aspects of Internationalisation are likely to find the book relevant and useful.

Providing a range of research-based insights from case studies in key countries, this resource offers higher education scholars and administrators a comparative perspective, helping to explain the impact that international faculty have on the local university, as well as issues of retention, promotion, salaries, and the challenges faced by these internationally mobile academics.

Demonstrates how the success of universities depends on the working conditions of the younger academic generation. Young faculty are the future of academia, yet without attractive career paths for young academics, the future of the university is bleak. Featuring case studies from Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Norway, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, and the United States, Young Faculty in the Twenty-First Century is the first book to analyze issues facing early-career higher education faculty in an international context. The contributors discuss how young academics are affected by contracts, salaries, the structure of careers, and institutional conditions. The analyses cover the full spectrum of the academic profession, including part-time jobs and short-term contracts, both in public and private institutions. The book also addresses what universities must do in order to attract young, qualified candidates.

The author, Dr Eunice Okorocha, completed her PhD research at the Department of Educational Studies of Surrey University, England. She is the author of: Supervising International Research Students (SRHE 1997 and 2007), Crossing Cultures (Transfiguration Press 2004), Cultural Issues in Working with International Students (Abramis Academic Publishing, UK 2010), Counselling International Students (Abramis 2010) and International Students' Experience in UK Higher Education (Abramis 2010). Working with International Students in Higher Education is a research based summary of the views of academic and non academic staff that work with International Students. Amongst those interviewed were academic staff including Personal Tutors and Supervisors, accommodation staff, Chaplains, English language staff, Library staff, International Students Officers, Welfare Officers, and a Student Union Officer. The staff interviewed all identified the academic, cultural, social, religious, language and communication difficulties faced by International Students as well as exposing issues that create barriers in working with them.Based on the experiences of those interviewed, the author makes recommendations to Higher education Staff, especially to Personal Tutors, Supervisors, Heads of Departments and Institutional Management. These recommendations are made with a view to providing a better understanding of what is involved in working with Students from other cultures and academic systems, and are aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of the staff that work with them.

Higher education is going through a turbulent period of change. Based on a research project coordinated by J^Durgen Enders at the University of Kassel in Germany, the book highlights the changes taking place in higher education and examines the working conditions of academic staff in fourteen European countries. All countries in the study have seen changes regarding the actors and procedures relevant for the regulation of the employment relationships of academic staff. Academic staff are higher education's most important asset and most costly resource. Employment and working conditions of academic staff are, therefore, not only influenced by these developments but seen as an important tool for adaptation to the new circumstances higher education faces. Thus it is not only of interest to demonstrate and compare variations across and within countries, but also to analyze the outcomes of the changing academic environment on the academic labor market and the conditions of working life.

Academic Work And Careers In Europe Trends Challenges Perspectives written by Tatiana Fumasoli and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014-10-29 with Education categories.

This book explores the perceptions of academic staff and representatives of institutional leadership about the changes in academic careers and academic work experienced in recent years. It emphasizes standardisation and differentiation of academic career paths, impacts of new forms of quality management on academic work, changes in recruitment, employment and working conditions, and academics’ perceptions of their professional contexts. The book demonstrates a growing diversity within the academic profession and new professional roles inhabiting a space which is neither located in the core business of teaching and research nor at the top level management and leadership. The new higher education professionals tend to be important change agents within the higher education institutions not only fulfilling service and bridging functions but also streamlining academic work to make a contribution to the reputation and competitiveness of the institution as a whole. Based on interviews with academic staff, this book explores the situation in eight European countries: Austria, Croatia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Poland, Romania, and Switzerland.
