Global Studies Literature Review

International education professionals have growing interest and need for specialized knowledge, research, and synthesis of emerging perspectives in a wide range of disciplines and fields. The Global Studies Literature Review (GSLR) is a peer-reviewed publication of thought leadership, with each year's issue focused on a timely topic of interest and expansion of the corresponding NAFSA annual conference theme. Each issue synthesizes key scholarly information for international educators with a feature essay and critical book reviews written by a wide variety of voices—faculty members, graduate students, independent researchers, international education professionals, and scholar-practitioners—with the intent to inform the field about new and relevant publications, foster thoughtful and critical dialogue, and offer a forum for the expansion of diverse voices.

Led by the Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship Knowledge Community (TLS KC) since 2010, the publication process for GSLR may also be used as a mentoring and professional development opportunity for students and early career scholar-practitioners interested in learning more about publication processes and how to actively contribute to important conversations in the field of international education.
