| Abstract | "Always an Academic Immigrant: A Collective Memoir shares the voices of academic immigrants who moved from their home country to a host country for a position of higher education institution. What motivates people to move for an academic position? What are the challenges they face? What do they see as their unique contributions to their institutions? What is their sense of integration in the host society, level of belonging, and of finding a "home" in the new country? What are their plans for the future - does this include the possibility of returning to their home country? Dafna Lemish elevates the voices of academic immigrants from 37 countries around the world, who moved to 11 countries, highlighting the unique benefits they bring to the academic world in their scholarship, teaching, and leadership roles"-- Provided by publisher. |
