 | Experiences of Immigrant Professors: Challenges, Cross-Cultural Differences, and Lessons for Success Subjects: Education; Continuing Professional Development; Higher Education; International & Comparative Education; Multicultural Education; Sociology of Education; 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. Charles B. Hutchison is Associate Professor of Education at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA. |
