Abstract	Cross-border academic visits by university faculty members are becoming prevalent globally. Unlike previous research, which has focused on the cross-cultural adaptation arising from the cross-border movement of people, we view scholars' visiting experiences as a learning opportunity in light of Mezirow's transformative learning theory (TLT). We employ Addleman et al.'s three-stage proposal to better understand the transformative learning process of Chinese visiting scholars. Drawing on Hoggan's typology, we identify changes in scholars' worldviews, selves, and behavior as outcomes of transformative learning. We conclude that international experience is beneficial for scholars and call for more study abroad opportunities for Chinese university faculty. (As Provided).
