Globalization and Transnational Academic Mobility - Qiongqiong Chen Gebunden

This book examines the way Chinese academics returning from the US re-establish their academic identities and professional practices at China's research universities in the context of higher education internationalization in China. It goes beyond economic accounts of academic mobility based on the notions of brain drain brain gain and brain circulation. Instead it uses a cultural approach to explore the everyday experiences of the returning scholars concerning the issues of their sense of identity as well as their ways of connecting and bringing about changes in their work communities. It will appeal anyone interested in 1) globalization and academic mobility 2) China's talent policies and strategies and 3) the internationalization of Chinese universities.
