Sixteen academic migrants across the Asia-Pacific region reflect on their experiences and wisdom gained across geographical, cultural and disciplinary domains.  Each one provides an authentic account of ways in which their experiences and insights have benefited their host institutions and enhanced their pedagogical practice.  The groundbreaking volume calls for a shift in academic culture ? one in which academic migrants are respected for their cultural, social and intellectual resources, their enhanced interpretive ability and their capacity to view the world through multiple lenses. Are these not the characteristics of educators which universities seek in their efforts to internationalise their institutions and develop in their students an understanding of global citizenship? The volume forges new territory in articulating the relationship between academic migrants, conceptual understanding and the construction of knowledge. The following themes are addressed in this book: Migration of Ideas, Conceptual Understanding and Pedagogical Enrichment Indigenous Pedagogies and Bridging Worldviews Changing Academic Identities and Reshaping Pedagogies Teaching Practice and the Academic Diaspora. 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aSociology of Education 606 $aHigher Education 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 14$aSociology of Education. 615 24$aHigher Education. 676 $a378.12 702 $aMason$b Colina$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRawlings-Sanaei$b Felicity$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483845003321 996 $aAcademic Migration, Discipline Knowledge and Pedagogical Practice$92847126 997 $aUNINA
