THE AIEA LISTSERV

The AIEA Listserv is open only to AIEA members as one of the benefits of membership. Members are automatically subscribed and are encouraged to remain on the list since this is the key means of communication with members. To unsubscribe, send a message to the AIEA list owner. With the launch of the new website, we also will be using e-mail newsletters as well.

Policy and Guidelines for Use

The AIEA Listserv is intended to provide a quick and easy way of using e-mail to exchange information, ask questions, and stimulate debate on the internationalization of higher education with your fellow professionals. The AIEA Listserv is open to AIEA members and members are automatically subscribed on an annual calendar-year basis, upon receipt of membership dues.

How to Post

Send the message to aieamembers@duke.edu. Before posting, please read the following guidelines carefully, including the preferred way to format and the the 'fine print.'

Content

The AIEA list can be used to:

  • Circulate messages on issues concerning AIEA and on the internationalization of higher education
  • Announce job vacancies in international education
  • Announce not-for-profit conferences or training opportunities relevant to international educators
  • Seek guidance on internationalization issues on campus
  • Inform members about current research on internationalization

Before sending an announcement to the AIEA List, please ask yourself if your message could be considered "marketing". If yes, it is probably not appropriate for the AIEA Listserv.

The AIEA Listserv should NOT be used to:

  • Advertise commercial products and services, such as books, travel opportunities and the like
  • Announce activities which are not clearly relevant to senior-level international educators
  • Forward 'chain letters', warnings of 'virus threats', or 'test' messages.
  • Request counseling on personal issues or seek funding or scholarships
  • Express grievances on personal or local issues.
  • Discuss personal political/religious beliefs and/or serve as a “soapbox” on issues
  • Distribute personal job or internship search postings or personal résumés/cv's.

If you are uncertain whether the content of your message is appropriate for the AIEA Listserv, please send a copy to the AIEA list owner and ask for advice.

Format

  • Language: Please post all your messages in English or add an English translation and keep them concise. The AIEA Listserv has a limit to the message length and will automatically reject any messages that are too long.
  • Subject Line: Make sure the Subject line of your message is clear and specific so that people can quickly decide if they want to read it. Use 'aiea:' in the subject line of your message, followed by the specific topic of the message. Ex. aiea: New Journal On Research Of Globalization
  • Attachments: Do NOT try to include attachments in AIEA Listserv messages. The AIEA Listserv will reject messages with attachments, so your message will bounce back to you. Simply "copy and paste" the contents of the attachment into your e-mail message, or refer the reader to a web page with the detailed information.
  • Reply Function: The AIEA Listserv "Reply" function has been set to send replies to listserv messages only to the original sender, rather than to the entire list. However, please double-check to ensure that personal mail goes to the personal address of the individual you wish to contact, and NOT to the entire AIEA list. If you wish to send a reply to the entire list, send your message to aieamembers@duke.edu
