In this chapter, the authors focus on the international mobility of faculty or scholars, a neglected aspect of academic international mobility. First, a methodology for studying the international mobility of academics - the sociological life course approach - is discussed. Second, by applying this approach to the data of the Changing Academic Profession survey, a two-stage analysis is carried out yielding a six category typology of academic mobility. Third, the possible factors explaining the various types of mobility are investigated. Finally, the impact of different types of mobility on academics’ international activities is also analysed.
