Richardson, Julia; McKenna, Steve
Career Development International, v7 n2 p67-78 2002
In interviews with 30 British academics teaching abroad, metaphors emerged to describe motivation to go and the experience of expatiation: expatriate as explorer, refugee, mercenary, architect, outsider, and tightrope walker. Motivations and experiences of academics appeared different from those of corporate expatriates. (Contains 56 references.) (SK)
