Leading Internationalization: A Handbook for International Education Leaders
Paperback – June 30, 2018
What do university leaders need to know and be able to do to internationalize their institutions?
This volume provides senior professionals in international education, increasingly known as Senior International Officers (SIOs), with the foundational knowledge that informs leadership practices, together with suggested strategies for implementing and developing the wide range of functions, activities and skills associated with comprehensive internationalization that will ensure effective support for their institutions’ educational mission in today’s globalized and interdependent world.
This book addresses strategic leadership issues in internationalization including strategic planning, shaping the curriculum, recruiting students, risk management, and developing partnerships. Throughout, the Association of International Education Administrators’ (AIEA) Standards of Professional Practice for SIOs and International Education Leaders (reproduced in the appendix) are integrated as a point of reference, providing a much needed guide for international education leaders.
This resource is a vital starting point for anyone in a senior leadership role in higher education, as well as for anyone desiring to understand more about this key leadership position essential to higher education institutions in developing institutional global capacity and in educating global-ready graduates.
Review
“This is one of the most comprehensive, if not the most comprehensive collection of essays on international higher education leadership. Builds very well on the AIEA Standards of Professional Practice of senior international officers. A must-have on the desk for everyone in the field, both in the US and beyond." (Markus Laitinen, President European Association for International Education (EAIE) 2018-06-11)
"Leading Internationalization offers insights and guidance on a wide range of critical issues, spanning the practical, strategic, and conceptual. Authors are leading experts in the field of international education, whose wealth of experience as both practitioners and scholars uniquely positions them to contribute meaningfully to the on-going conversations the book is designed to promote." (Robin Matross Helms, Director, Center for Internationalization and Global Engagement American Council on Education 2018-06-11)
"Institutions of higher education around the world are increasingly touched by globalization, while for many internationalization is a central tenet of their strategic mission. This text brings together a wealth of expertise that will support and guide those newly in the role of SIO, as well as encouraging those with more experience in the field of international education to explore different opportunities and ways of responding to the challenges that they will undoubtedly face." (Sarah Todd, President, APAIE (Asia Pacific Association of International Education) Vice President (Global) Griffith University, Australia 2018-05-25)
