This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the short-term study abroad (STSA) parameters that have been investigated in existing literature. The current literature on STSA is fragmented and spread across multiple disciplines in both academic and practitioner journals; consequently, it is not well organized. At the same time, STSA is one of…

Nonstructural student mobility--school changes not tied to grade-level promotion--is common and consequential yet remains underexamined in recent research. This paper analyzes the incidence, disparities, and predictors of nonstructural school mobility using longitudinal data from six demographically diverse California school districts, with…

Given the significance of authenticity in higher education institutions and the growing number of Iranian generation Z (Gen Z) students migrating to pursue Ph.D. degrees, this study aims to examine how university professors' authenticity influences Iran's Gen Z students' intention to migrate (ITM). Additionally, employing a horizontal and vertical…

This book focuses on Australian students' engagement and learning in the Indo-Pacific through the New Colombo Plan (NCP), the Australian Government's flagship initiative for student mobility and public diplomacy. By analysing the experiences, tensions, and both individual and societal impacts of Australian student mobility to the Indo-Pacific, the…

In this article, we take a global perspective and analyse how state institutions constitute a countries' place in the global network of transnational student mobility. We use longitudinal social network analysis to investigate transnational student mobility patterns and find that fragile institutions act as a push factor by increasing outbound…

Based on a survey of Swedish participants in the Erasmus+ exchange programme from the 2014 and 2015 application years, our study uses specific Multiple Correspondence Analysis to explore students' valuations of their study destinations across different scales -- country, city, and institution. Our findings indicate that places were valued based on…

This qualitative study investigates the pathways that first-generation, low-income, ethnoracially minoritized college students create and navigate to access and sustain their presence in study abroad. Using a counter-storytelling approach and semi-structured interviews, the study reveals the significant role of campus TRIO Student Support Services…

Changing schools tends to be more frequent among victimized students and is sometimes used as a means to put an end to persistent bullying. However, whether these changes benefit victimized students remains unclear, as bullying victimization often persists across different contexts. This mixed-methods study (n = 58,799 and n = 68 for quantitative…

Universities in Canada have been highly engaged with internationalisation -- concurrent with the Bologna Process in Europe -- yet appear only marginally influenced by the 'external' Europeanisation of higher education. This paper examines the intersection of these processes: Has the Europeanisation of higher education influenced the…

This paper reflects on the importance of 'time spent' in understanding the international student experience. Short-term mobility programmes (involving stays of between 1 week and 2 months) attracting less privileged students, such as the relatively new Turing Scheme in the United Kingdom, have been hailed as a potential 'solution' to the fact…

Research on teacher retention and attrition suggests that it may be particularly difficult to fill special education positions in rural, economically disadvantaged, high-minority, and urban U.S. schools. Although teacher retention and attrition have received considerable attention in the literature, less is known about the reasons special…

Taking the UK and Japan as contrasting national case studies, this article supplements existing research into student migration by consolidating a regulatory perspective with individual narrative accounts. Reported here are the results of a mixed-methods two-phase study. Phase 1 is a concerted trajectory analysis of student migration policy in the…

Current reports highlight the status of the teaching profession is at a 50-year low, noting sobering statistics about low teacher morale, the loss of professional prestige, lack of student interest to pursue teaching, and increased percentages of teachers thinking about leaving (Marken & Agrawal, 2022; Mission Square Research Institute, 2021;…

The workplace for early-career researchers (ECRs) in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine) is highly competitive; ECRs urgently need to publish and attract funding to secure their next job. The literature suggests this environment is more difficult for women than for men. They start the postdoctoral period in equal…

While international education has long been characterized by mobility, the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted our attention to immobility when thousands of international students have experienced immobility in various ways, one of which is being stuck in their home countries. This paper records how the new situation of immobility challenged an…
