This book examines the extent to which studying and living overseas enable returning graduates to enhance their professional work and contribute to community development. It assesses the transformative potential that returnees are assumed to have in terms of capabilities and skills acquired through an international education. This book is based on a research study on Vietnamese overseas graduates who have returned to Vietnam. It examines the complexity of competing aspirations, responsibilities, identities and cultural dynamics in these returnees' professional, intellectual and civic environments.
Dr Lien Pham is a lecturer at the Graduate Research School, University of Technology Sydney, Australia. She received her PhD in Sociology from Macquarie University, Sydney.

She has conducted extensive research on educational policies for multilateral development agencies in the Asia-Pacific region and public policy evaluation for Australian government organisations.
