Universities’ roles in regional development and evaluating their quality
Recent societal and environmental challenges have necessitated universities expanding their contributions to regional development beyond economic impact, leading to a growing body of scholarly work across diverse contexts. At the same time, resource constraints and rising accountability demands have underscored the need for improved evaluation approaches. In response, this study conducts a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature to synthesi…
Boundary‐Spanning and Sustainability in the Digital Higher Education Space
This research explores how boundary‐spanning efforts in higher education can be expanded through the digital space and contribute to sustainability in higher education. By employing a qualitative case study design, we examine the journey of a Turkish public university's open education faculty, focusing on how the university has leveraged its open education mission and the developments in digital space to span boundaries and contribute to societal…
Virtual exchange as a mode of internationalization at a distance
This study examines virtual exchange (VE) as a mode of internationalization at a distance through the Turkish higher education context. Recognizing the constraints of geographical mobility, VE emerges as a viable alternative to enhance international and intercultural learning through technology. Employing a qualitative phenomenological design, we interviewed 22 participants, including students, faculty members and international office professiona…
Outpacing reforms
This study examines how organizational transformation is enacted within regional universities operating under a post-socialist, centralized governance. Drawing on a dual analytical lens – rationalist and emergent – we analyze 15 strategic plans and qualitative data from 63 faculty and administrators across five universities. At the macro level, findings reveal an isomorphic convergence of strategic goals across universities, dominated by performa…
Faculty International Engagement
The dramatic expansion of the international dimension in higher education has incited broadened and diverse interpretations of internationalization. As faculty members are integral in achieving many expected higher education goals, understanding their perspectives on the internationalization process is critical. Administrative leaders also play a vital role in influencing the conditions of internationalization and working alongside the faculty. A…
Changing patterns of international academic mobility
International academic mobility has gained widespread attention in higher education as new hosting countries have emerged in addition to traditional destinations. In this changing environment, little emphasis has been placed on international academics in emerging non-Western destinations. This qualitative study examines the experiences of 18 Western-origin faculty members in Turkey, an emerging destination for international academics with its uni…
Stratified University Strategies
Globalizing forces have both transformed the higher education sector and made it increasingly homogenous. Growing similarities among universities have been attributed to isomorphic pressures to ensure and/or enhance legitimacy by imitating higher education institutions that are perceived as successful internationally, particularly universities that are highly ranked globally (Cantwell & Kauppinen, 2014; DiMaggio and Powell, 1983). In this study, …
