The contributors explore how faculty and staff in higher education can use international immersion experiences and global virtual collaborations as professional development opportunities to become global educators. These contributions explore questions relating to how educators can become better global citizens in their research methods, projects, and agendas; questions such as: What is internationalization in the university setting? What justice issues arise with internationalization of curriculum and campuses? How does internationalization help or hinder interdisciplinary learning and teaching? What global frameworks are most helpful in this work? This volume presents opportunities to develop the cultural competencies of faculty and staff in higher education to provide meaningful professional development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Delane A.
