With the trend of student mobility, talented individuals have been pursuing doctoral education opportunities abroad. Prior research addressed specific aspects or challenges of doing a PhD in a cross-cultural context, leaving a need to understand the nature of students' experiences from a holistic perspective. To address the need, this study…

International student mobility has been rising as a global phenomenon in the last few decades, while its impact could be various in different contexts. For the European Union (EU), studying in another EU member country could be regarded as an important factor for the solidarity and integrity of the Union. The current study elaborates on the role…

Motivated by increasing Colombian immigration in Chile, this paper aims to understand the production of Colombian students attuned with the geopolitical discourses on immigrants in Santiago. Inspired by feminist geographers, it considers the nation as an affective device and geopolitics as the power asymmetries resulting from the encounter of…

Internationalization at a distance (IaD) has been loosely defined as distance education across borders or the international mobility of knowledge without human mobility. It is largely celebrated, for example, for its potential to improve global education access and mitigate environmental harm. However, this depoliticized positioning risks…

Magnet schools provide innovative curricula designed to attract students from other schools within a school district, typically with the joint goals of diversifying enrollment and boosting achievement. Measuring the impact of attending a magnet school is challenging because students choose to apply and schools have priorities over types of…

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…

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 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…

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…

Authored by Dr. Wendy Kilgore and Dr. Ken Sharp, this white paper examines the current state of credit mobility in higher education in the United States. Through analysis of survey data from 36 Texas public institutions and broader national research over the past decade, this paper demonstrates that core challenges are not technological gaps but…

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…

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…
