International Student Experiences : Fairness, Equity, and Race

This project will ultimately highlight the ways in which international students experience higher education (as framed by policy, racism, and student testimonies I will have collected prior to departure).The project is 2 pronged: one area focusing on a policy driven manuscript informed by international student testimonies to be used for my dissertation, and the other area, a conceptual piece on international students and race. Both areas of the project will utilize a critical lens that frames international student experience through inequity.

Area 1) This research will focus on the inequities that international students encounter through work, academics, healthcare, and experiences on campus. These inequities will be further analyzed within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This project forms the basis for one of the chapters in my dissertation. While I will have collected testimonies pre-departure, the analysis will be conducted under the supervision of Dr. Syvlie Lomer.

Area 2) In addition to the analysis of policy and international student experiences, I will also investigate a new line of inquiry on the intersections of international students and race.
