The present work belongs to the group of studies on the participation of scholars in the process of internationalization of higher education. It is part of a doctoral research and is based on a theoretical framework built on considerations of cultural capital (Bourdieu y Passeron, 1970; Bourdieu, 1979), the characteristics of academic work (Clark, 1991) and the participation of scholars in internationalization (Dewey y Duff, 2009). The study aims at answering the following research question: What are the institutional and international cultural capital factors that influence the internationalization of academic work conducted by the scholars at the University of Veracruz? The research approach is mixed and the strategy is defined as sequential explanatory (Cresswell, 2009). The quantitative phase is presented here, which is a sample statistical study. The results show agreement with the main previously mentioned theoretical assumptions even if interesting contradictions require the application of a qualitative type of analysis to be fully understood.
