“Building Global Education with a Local Perspective is part of a rapidly growing engagement literature, and sits within the social justice perspective. … Francois has made an important contribution to the debate and to the academic, institutional, and policy community, providing detailed discussion and guidance by which to establish and operate (successful) educational programs and other initiatives. … the book usefully performs a further service as both a textbook and a primer for action.” (Ellen Hazelkorn, The Journal of Higher Education, Vol. 87 (3), May, 2016)"Jean François has written a highly readable and much needed analysis of global and international education. He has written the book for an audience of education professionals, but many outside of the field such as liberal arts chairs, professional school deans, and study abroad directors will find the book enormously important as a history, analysis, and vision for global engagement." - Judith Grant, Professor and Chair of Political Science, Ohio University, USA
