Call for Submissions for Forthcoming Book, "International Education at Community Colleges: From Optional to Integral"

You are invited to submit a contribution to an edited volume to be published by Palgrave Publishers.  The book, International Education at Community Colleges: From Optional to Integral, will highlight the uniqueness of community college international education.  We invite contributions that unpack the changing dimensions of community college international education from that of an optional program to an integral one (King and Fersh, 1992) that is institutionalized as a comprehensive part of the college whole. 

 

Chapters are invited from practitioners and scholars in the field of community college international education who can contribute to a critical understanding of the field by sharing original research on the impact that international education has had for community colleges.  The intent is to have a combination of state-of-the-field reviews, new empirical scholarship, and critical discussions that help to depict variables that account for successful programs and those that are not so successful. All manuscripts will undergo a blind peer-review.  Editors will only consider papers written in English.

  

Expressions of interest should be received by October 24, 2014.  Please submit:

1. Title of chapter
2. Author contact details (position, institution, email, and phone)
3. 500–750 word description of the chapter that includes a description of the theoretical and/or empirical emphasis of the chapter. Theoretical studies create, extend, or modify existing theory and/or grounded theory. Empirical Research reports the results of a study that uses data derived from specific research methods such as actual observation or experimentation. 

International Education at Community Colleges: From Optional to Integral will be edited by 

Rosalind Latiner Raby, California State University, Northridge, and Edward Valeau, Senior Partner ELS group and Superintendent President Emeritus of Hartnell Community College.
