Description: The 2010 Annual Fall Conference of the Canadian Association of Teachers in Japan will be held on Monday, September 20, 2010, a Japanese national holiday. The deadline for refereed and non-refereed papers is June 15.

The internationalization of higher education is invariably linked to broader reforms within societies struggling to restructure their institutions as a response to shifts in global developments. The interpretation and actualization of such developments are affected by the political, social, economic, demographic, and cultural contexts of nations and their respective institutions. Such is evidenced in changed visions, priorities, leadership, policies, curriculum, and approaches to management. Dating back to the Meiji Restoration, Japanese institutions of higher learning have at various times struggled to interpret and adopt internationalization processes. A large body of research indicates that we are in the midst of yet another very challenging period of reformation. The effects of “restructuring” will most certainly impact all organizational members. The aim of this conference is to cause participants to reflect on and question how they can constructively contribute to these reforms within their respective organizational contexts. We very much welcome your participation in what is certain to be an invigorating one-day conference.
