abstract: International mobility is an increasingly important aspect of academic careers. However, although there is a considerable body of literature that examines international mobility motivations, much less is known about the working lives of academics who move abroad. This paper analyses the academic career experiences of migrant academics in the UK, drawing on data from 27 in-depth interviews collected as part of the CGHE 3.2 project. Our findings reveal that migrant academics are not uniformly ‘strange’ to UK’s academia and its working practices. Among the main factors influencing the degree of migrant academics’ ‘strangeness’ are the country of their doctoral degree, and whether or not academics are from an Anglo-Saxon country such as US, Australia or New Zealand. These findings pave the way to considerations regarding the acculturation and integration of staff from abroad in UK universities.
