Academic Mobility: Crossed perspectives

Conference description:
Academic mobility is growing year after year. University staff, students, researchers and officers in higher education are increasingly traveling Europe and the world as part of their work or studies. In Europe, several EU programs have proved to be successful within the European countries and are now extending to the whole world (ex: Erasmus Mundus). Yet, few studies are available on the hypermodern mobile academic individuals. What is known of the lives of these new strangers (Murphy-Lejeune)? How do they deal with their daily lives? What sort of relationships do they develop? What about the competences they develop while abroad? Do they alter their views on their own foreignness and that of the others? In what way do their experiences differ from those of normal migrants?
