<p>Karen Smith has produced a highly engaging introduction to the complex field of transnational education, aimed at supporting staff working in a variety of roles to critically reflect on their understanding of TNE and how this impacts upon their pedagogy.</p> <p>Transnational education is unusual in the fact that staff are often isolated and lacking a community of practice with which they can readily turn to for challenge and advice. This book will appeal to those, and is set to make a positive contribution to enhancing the experiences of both staff and students across the world participating in the fast evolving forms of transnational education.</p>
- Dr Joan O-Mahony, AdvanceHE,
<p>This book is the first of its kind globally. It provides a concise all-around introduction to the key aspects of Transnational Education (TNE). The author, a leading researcher in the field, compiles evidence from an extensive review of the literature and, by using a simple and accessible language, provides a valuable summary of the definitions, trends, and issues pertaining to TNE.</p> <p>The structure of each chapter includes elements that are useful to practitioners and researchers in the TNE. Particularly the identification of <em>“Critical Issues”</em> and <em>“Critical questions for practice”</em> in each chapter, makes this book an excellent companion for research development and professional reflection.</p>
- Dr Vangelis Tsiligiris, Principal Lecturer, Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University Founder, TNE-Hub,
<p>Having spent my time researching practitioner (both host and overseas) interactions in TNE, I <em>passionately</em> believe that practitioner engagement and participation is fundamental to the successful delivery of any TNE initiative. I am therefore delighted to endorse this book and recommend it to any practitioner who wishes to understand the phenomenon of TNE in greater detail to improve their knowledge and practice.</p>
