Bridging Cultures

International Women Faculty Transforming the US Academy

Herausgeber: Robbins, Sarah R.; Smith, Sabine; Santini, Federica

Beschreibung

Bridging Cultures explores the experiences of international women faculty as they acculturate to the US academy. In a series of memoirs, these women reflect on their gendered personal experiences as "ex-pat" faculty members and set their stories within the larger context of American higher education's increasingly international character.
