Please help us launch Dr. Jeremy Breaden’s new monograph, The Organisational Dynamics of University Reform in Japan: International Inside Out which was published by Routledge on 8 September.

The book offers a new approach to the study of internationalisation in Japan by proceeding from the ‘inside out’. It presents an extended case study of one university organisation that has been changed through its adoption of a radical program of  internationalisation. Through this case study Jeremy identifies patterns by which internationalisation is situated in administrative discourse and individual action, and determines how these patterns in turn shape organisational practice. The result is a multi-dimensional narrative of organisational change that advances our understanding of both the dynamics of university reform and the concept of internationalisation, one of the most durable yet contentious themes in the study of contemporary Japanese society. With detailed analysis and an in-depth case study, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Japanese studies,  sociology and anthropology. It will also prove valuable to professionals and policy makers working in higher education, both in Japan and around the world. This monograph was based on Jeremy‟s PhD thesis, awarded in 2010.

The book launch celebration will take place on 26 October at 3 pm at Building H116 Conference Hall, Caulfield campus of Monash University.

Please RSVP to Kim Chen at kim.chen@monash.edu by 19 October.
