Women’s Leadership in Global and International Contexts

With the rise in international universities, national universities with international campuses, and international travel and outreach, women are leading in a variety of international and global contexts that may not have been previously considered. As we become progressively more mobile and international communication becomes more fluid, today’s women leaders are exercising flexibility and nimbleness to move to move forward in increasing complex and international contexts. As world is getting smaller and more connected, women are excelling in efforts to connect and communicate across time, distance and culture. In addition, international administrators, faculty, students and staff are working and studying in different environments locally and abroad. This issue focuses light on women leading in these multiple international and global contexts. I enjoyed these articles on women’s international and global leadership, I hope you will as well.
