When we started the "Anzaldúing" It podcast in 2017, we were trying to find a healing space outside of academia to process our everyday experiences as first-generation queer Latina/xs in graduate school. We chose the medium of podcasting as our platform because of our shared experience of pláticas being transformative spaces of knowledge…

An increasing number of international graduate students who learn English as an Additional Language (EAL) pursue advanced academic degrees in the United States. Previous studies have indicated that international graduate students often face several challenges as EAL learners while socializing in English academic communities and negotiating…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the satisfaction of international graduate students at private, religion-based universities. The study was conducted with international graduate students at three private, religious-based universities in the Midwest. An explanatory sequential mixed-method design was utilized and data were collected via…

Since research integrity is not external to research but an integral part of it, it should be integrated into research training.
