This work investigates the research performance of foreign faculty in the Italian academic system.

Methodological nationalism (MN) pervades higher education scholarship and practice, particularly in the arena of globalisation of higher education (HE) (Shahjahan and Kezar 2013). MN refers to the assumption that national boundaries define the natural category or unit of analysis for society. Drawing on affect theories, this conceptual article…

Metcalfe, Amy Scott – Critical Studies in Education, 2017
Transnational academic mobility is often characterized in relation to terms such as "brain drain", "brain gain", or "brain circulation"--terms that isolate researchers' minds from their bodies, while saying nothing about their political identities as foreign nationals. In this paper, I explore the possibilities of a…

Malysheva, M. M. – Russian Education and Society, 2013
The aging of the professoriate in Russia is a barrier to creating closer links between scientific research and teaching; it is making it difficult for Russian universities to improve their world ranking and putting at risk the future of the profession and the development of Russian society.

Odhiambo, George – Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, 2012
The flight of human capital is a phenomenon that has been of concern to academics and development practitioners for decades but unfortunately, there is no systematic record of the number of skilled professionals that many African countries have continued to lose to the developed world. Termed the "brain drain", it represents the loss of…
