Abstract

This case study begins with the story of how two teachers met, taught, and became friends in Africa, before one of them returned to the United States and organized the other's immigration there. The rest of the story narrates the immigrant's experience teaching and researching in a cultural setting very different from his own. It is a case study aimed at benefitting those educators who are teaching or leading in international settings, or those who plan to do so.
