“An extraordinary story told by a masterful storyteller. In this book, veteran leader and scholar in international education John Schwille reflects on the journey of internationalization of one highly accomplished higher education institution that offers powerful lessons for leaders, scholars, and practitioners. Insightful, honest, scholarly, and personal—an excellent read.”
—Yong Zhao, Presidential Chair, College of Education, University of Oregon, and author of Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Dragon?: Why China has the Best (and Worst) Education System in the World
John Schwille has written a book that shows in detail how faculty leaders transformed a college of education through passion and vision. Clearly, Michigan State University’s College of Education is much stronger than it otherwise would have been thanks to understanding K–12 education in the United States through the eyes of different cultures and customs.
—Andrew Porter, professor emeritus, University of Pennsylvania
A riveting cultural depiction, following Bourdieu, of how one influential school of education integrated the intersecting streams of international and comparative education into the core of their program.
—Ruth Hayhoe, professor, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto
