Dr. Mathias Czaika (International Migration Institute, University of Oxford)

The impact of globalisation processes and economic integration on the internationalisation of higher education has mainly been discussed with respect to students and their mobility to date. Less attention has been devoted to academics and scientists themselves as the producers of knowledge and providers of educational services, despite the fact that academic careers have long been associated with high levels of geographical mobility.

Starting with ‘the broad picture’ by analysing bibliometric data, this talk examines the changing patterns of international academic mobility between 1970 and 2014. A unique dataset from a recent survey of about 10,000 Indian academics worldwide allows then exploration of the drivers and dynamics of international academic mobility among one of the largest academic diasporas worldwide.

A seminar hosted by the UCL SSEES Centre for Comparative Studies of Emerging Economies.
