Faculties is a call to action, a sourcebook, and a how-to guide for academic colleagues who want to contribute to the administrative and educational decisions being made about the future of our institutions. There is no going back to the version of US higher education that existed a couple of decades or even a couple of years ago. Cathy N. Davidson and Jody Greene encourage faculty and allies to incite and participate in change, offering models of successful, constructive collaboration at a destructive and demoralizing time for higher education. Presented in the form of dialogues between Davidson and Greene, two of higher education’s most innovative leaders, Faculties focuses on the urgency of coalition building, providing data and analyses of the structural, financial, ideological, and organizational circumstances that can support or inhibit productive change in colleges, universities, and research institutions. Faculties retains a welcoming, conversational tone while incorporating extensive references and citations and addressing drastic changes to higher education, offering the evidence and inspiration needed to enact institutional transformation now.

This co-authored collection offers valuable insights about the impact of leading off-campus study on faculty leaders’ teaching, research, service, and overall well-being. Recognizing that faculty leaders are themselves global learners, the book addresses ways that liberal arts colleges can more effectively achieve their strategic goals for students' global learning by intentionally anticipating and supporting the needs of faculty leaders, as they grow and change. Faculty as Global Learners offers key findings and recommendations to stimulate conversations among administrators, faculty, and staff about concrete actions they can explore and steps they can take on their campuses to both support faculty leaders of off-campus programs and advance strategic institutional goals for global learning. This collection includes transferrable pedagogical insights and the perspectives of faculty members who have led off-campus study programs in a variety of disciplines and geographic regions.
