Female International Scholars: "I Feel Many Times I Live between Cracks"
Philipsen, Maike Ingrid
International Education, v39 n2 p57-70 Spr 2010
Derived from a larger research project on female faculty in the United States, this paper reports findings focused on a sub-group of participants, international scholars who work in U.S. colleges and universities. Based on in-depth interviews, some of the obstacles they face are portrayed in order to enhance the understanding of an understudied population and find ways to address their specific challenges. (Contains 2 notes.)
