This book features a carefully curated collection of articles drawn from the quarterly International Higher Education (IHE). Focused on the international dimensions and trends in higher education, these articles offer valuable insights into the tumultuous events spanning from January 2018 to December 2023. This volume offers a comprehensive discussion of key international themes covering a period of great turmoil in global higher education in a series of short, targeted articles.

The five-year period is marked by the geopolitical tensions and internationalization issues at both national and international levels, in the middle of a global pandemic. We provide readers with a coherent organization of articles, grouped into ten themes that relate to the most central issues facing international(ization of) higher education, which are relevant today and in the future.

Abstract

I write this autoethnography to narrate and analyze experiences from my professional life’s history that I believe have shaped my identity as a female leader in my context. I describe my identity development within the framework of professional identity tensions, cultural contexts of gender and age. I reflect on language as a cultural lens that can influence interactions and practices of non-native speakers in the TESOL context and describe emerging as a young female leader in a context that associates competence with age and leadership with males. I hope this analysis and reflections of my autoethnography as a female leader from Egypt and Africa will help in understanding the complex processes of leadership identity construction for women in similar contexts and contribute to the literature about TESOL leadership by bringing an experience of a leader from a context that is rarely researched.

Abstract

In this collaborative autoethnography (CAE), we, three educators in post-secondary institutions in British Columbia, Canada, explore our attempts to decolonize our work. This research is informed by the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and our engagement with reconciliation. Methodologically, CAE allowed us to examine each other’s assumptions and experiences as we work to decolonize and address social injustice in our practices as educational leaders. We begin our piece with critical incidents that have led us to rethink and reframe our work as educators. Addressing our research questions, we observed the messiness and complexity in our work. To begin the process of decolonizing our work, what is needed is self-reflection, a re-imagining of current practices, active engagement through relational approaches and strong communities of practice.

Abstract

Through an autoethnographic inquiry, and from an Asian female’s perspective, this chapter depicts my leadership identity formation and transformation in U.S. higher education. I share my lived experiences of challenges, successes, and hidden efforts during my leadership role and academic career establishment over my transnational and cross-cultural trajectories, reflect on my personal and professional growth from a monolingual and monocultural student to become a bilingual and bicultural English teacher in U.S. higher education. With the driving purpose of advocating for Asian female non-native English-speaking TESOL professionals in Western academia, I also share my strategies in making sociocultural adjustments in coping with difficulties, and negotiating for professional, power, racial, and gender equality.
