Abstract:
This book brings together work in the social sciences—geography, sociology, education studies and cognate disciplines—to explore questions associated with the meaning and significance of international student migrations. The essential context to this discussion includes changes to higher education and its institutions wrought through ‘internationalisation’. The book explores the meanings of the internationalisation of higher education in relation to the mobilities of students, and is structured around six key themes: changes in the geographies of student mobilities; socio-economic diversification in mobile students; the differential value of international higher education; migration, citizenship and state-building projects; learning and classroom experiences; and ethics and international student mobility.
