International students play a significant role in U.S. higher education; however, these students' perspectives are rarely explored following graduation. Much of the literature centers issues related to persistence and retention with an emphasis on first year undergraduate students, missing the breadth of international student experience. This…

Resident directors (RDs) in Europe manage a university in a microcosm--overseeing academic affairs, student affairs, finances, facilities, human resources, legal issues, and health and safety. Literature on the RD role remains scarce, and we sought to fill this gap by examining the lived experiences of 22 RDs in Europe. Our phenomenological study…

As South Asian international students increasingly enter U.S. higher education, they face unique barriers to asserting their full identities in their institutions (e.g., racism, cultural exclusions, and stereotyping). While prior literacy research has explored how historically marginalized students use their literacies to negotiate on-campus…

Research on international students suggests they have a low sense of belonging at the U.S. institutions they attend. This study examined whether academic advisor's cultural empathy, advisor-advisee rapport, and international students' advising satisfaction influenced international students' perspectives of belonging to the institution. We further…

The populational of international undergraduate students in the United States reached an all-time high enrollment of 1.1 million during the 2023-2024 academic year. Many leadership training, education, and development programs are seeing more international students joining their curricular and co-curricular programming. Simultaneously, other…

Scholarship on international students shows that despite university policies designed to create a welcoming atmosphere, international students still face social challenges. This paper applies the capabilities approach to reveal mechanisms that facilitate or constrain the social inclusion of married international graduate students. For married…

While the topic of attracting and maintaining inbound international students has received much scholarly attention in higher education, attracting female international students has rarely been discussed. This study addresses the issue of attracting degree-seeking female international students. Based on the notion of situational factors and total…

This article examines how Chinese international students develop a complex understanding of race and racism from a transnational perspective. Through semi-structured interviews and follow-up exchanges with 21 Chinese international undergraduates at a US public research university, the article argues that students' racial learning was jointly…

Although there are empirical studies on the adaptation of fresh students in the country towards new life and conditions when they start university degrees and psychological processes following immigration, little is known about the adaptation problems of international students going abroad for university education. Similarly, scientific studies on…

This article uses the framework of legal violence to examine two educational labels attached to immigrant young people: newcomer and international student. We demonstrate how these labels function to obscure immigrant students' long-standing relationships with the United States and result in missed opportunities to address how legal violence…

Incorporating an international perspective in the experience and skill-based focus of leadership learning is central to preparing for leadership in the 21st century; a time when the world is increasingly connected across culture, governance, economies, and educational systems. For leadership educators to be more effective, the authors advocate…

Tuition fee (or price) setting drivers are still an under-researched area. We attempt to fill this gap using universities as the basis of analysis. Grounded in pricing contingency theory, specifically, pricing capability literature, a conceptual model is developed using qualitative data from eight annual pricing cycles (2009-2017). We test the…

Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are newly impacting the governance of international students, a temporary resident category significant for both direct economic contributions and the formation of a "pool" of potential future immigrants in many immigrant-dependent countries. This paper focuses on tensions within Canada's…

International friendship (i.e., friendship between host-national and international students) is an important area of study for counseling psychologists. Host-national students' engagement with international friendship is associated with cross-cultural learning, cognitive benefits, and a more nuanced understanding of race and stereotyping. Even…

This study explores the promotion of ethical behavior through intercultural education via a narrative inquiry research design. Seven international students from Madagascar, Libya, Turkmenistan, Thailand, and Malaysia participated, providing diverse perspectives on their experiences. The participants' narratives were analyzed through the lenses of…
