A Critical Examination of the Socialization of International Doctoral Students for the Professoriate

• In Event: Creating Capacity and Developing Global Goals for International Education

Abstract

Doctoral education in the U.S. is primarily designed to prepare future faculty for the US professoriate (Anderson & Anderson, 2012). Doctoral students who are less familiar with the U.S. and other Western research universities, such as international students, may be at a further disadvantage throughout the socialization process.
