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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe following themes are addressed in this book: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMigration of Ideas, Conceptual Understanding and Pedagogical Enrichment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndigenous Pedagogies and Bridging Worldviews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChanging Academic Identities and Reshaping Pedagogies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeaching Practice and the Academic Diaspora.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-09-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789811013386\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-4451-88-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 218\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47521104003212,"sku":"9789811013386","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789811013386.jpg?v=1776004550","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789811013386","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
