ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I dedicate Internationalization of Higher Education: An Analysis through Spatial, Network, and Mobilities Theories to my doctoral students who have been engaging in their own individual quests to make sense of the international in educational contexts over the last few years. Thank you Rashed Al-Haque, Eva Jaberi, Jen Kozak, Nathalee McKnight, Vanessa Sperduti, Clara Tascón, Carolyne Verret, and Wei Wei for your research, our stimulating conversations, and for your curiosity, insights, and enthusiasm for exploring the global. You represent the best of what the next generation of international education scholars will be. Above all, I acknowledge that I would not have been able to write this book without the loving support and encouragement of my son Leif, and my husband Zach. Thank you all.
