Abstract
There is a long research trail exploring the benefits of international education experiences for the learning of students in higher education (e.g., Bennett 1993; Deardorff 2006; Northcote et al. 2014). However, it is only recently that research has begun to focus on accompanying academics and the impact of international professional experiences on their professional and personal well-being (Casinader in press; see also the many authors in this book).
