Drawing on ideas from migration studies and informed by interviews with junior international faculty members (JIFs)\u00a0in Japanese universities, I posit a novel, actor-centered typology of internationalization that delineates\u00a0between the\u00a0integration, assimilation, and marginalization of mobile actors. Twenty-three interviews were conducted with JIFs from a variety of disciplines and institutions across Japan. Findings indicated a pattern of disillusionment with their role in internationalization, as many perceived themselves to be tokenized symbols of internationalization rather than valued actors within it. Participants identified various barriers which prevented them from participating in the academic \u201cmainstream\u201d and confined them to peripheral roles. I argue that their experiences are indicative of assimilative and marginalizing forms of internationalization. A relative\u00a0lack of integrative forms\u00a0may represent a barrier to reform in Japanese universities despite decades of state-sponsored internationalization.<\/p>\n<p>\u25a0Language<br \/>English<\/p>\n<p>[trust-form id=20122]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The open seminar will be held as follows: \u25a0Date13:30-15:30, Thursday, August 8th, 2019 \u25a0ThemeTowards an actor-centred typology of internationalization: A study of junior international faculty in Japanese universities \u25a0VenueRoom No. 112, RIHE, Hiroshima University \u25a0LecturersThomas Brotherhood, University of Oxford \u25a0AbstractIn this seminar I offer new qualitative insights into\u00a0internationalization processes in Japanese higher education.
