Call for Book Manuscripts Project

During the initial Higher Education SIG business meeting at the 2008 CIES Annual Meeting in New York, we launched a Higher Education SIG-sponsored book series on current topics in international higher education. These volumes will be edited and contributed to by SIG members and published as part of Palgrave Macmillan’s International and Development Education Book Series. For more information on how to submit a book proposal, read the initial Call for Edited Book Proposals.

Three Higher Educaiton SIG-sponsored book proposals have been approved at this point. Professors Val D. Rust, Laura Portnoi, and Sylvia Bagley (Eds.) submitted a book proposal entitled Higher Education, Policy, and the Global Competition Phenomenon and issued a Call for Chapter Proposals that was sent out to SIG members in September 2008. A second proposal for a book entitled Global Student Mobility: National Strategies and International Trends was also recently approved and will be edited by fellow Higher Education SIG members Rajika Bhandari and Peggy Blumenthal from the Institute for International Education. Increasing Effectiveness of the Community College Financial Model: A Global Perspective for the Global Economy is the third volume approved through the peer-review process at Palgrave Macmillan. The book is edited by Stewart Sutin, Dan Derrico, Rosalind Latiner Raby, and Ed Valeau.
