"This important new book offers a timely extension of Brewer and Ogden's many years of critical study into the tensions between the acclaimed value of international education on the one hand, and its complex integration into the arc of the undergraduate experience, on the other. But it also goes well beyond that to address the integration of mobility experiences in broad sectors of the U.S. higher education landscape, including community college, lifelong learning, and the transition to employment. This edited volume, which includes some of the most influential scholars and practitioners working today, is a critical milestone that helps to further establish the emerging scholarship of international education and deflect criticism that there remains a missing link between the use of theory and its impact on practice."
(Bernhard T. Streitwieser, Assistant Professor of International Education & International Affairs The George Washington University)“Elizabeth Brewer and Anthony Ogden have gathered a group of well-documented essays that demonstrate the evolving nature of education abroad. The articles cover topics as wide-ranging as design, curriculum integration, pedagogy, student support, evaluation, and use of partnerships. Of interest to faculty leading programs, curriculum committees, study abroad personnel, senior international officers, and even chief academic officers...anyone wanting to give students a high quality educational experience. This is an expert and essential collection.”
