Welch, Anthony R.
Higher Education, v34 n3 p323-45 Oct 1997
A survey of 20,000 college and university faculty in 14 countries, particularly in large teaching and research institutions, investigated the extent of international mobility within this group. Issues examined in relation to mobility include gender differences, distribution among disciplines, patterns of employment (full- vs. part-time, contracts), participating in international education-related activities, job satisfaction, and preference for teaching vs. research.
