"This is a timely, eloquent and engaging book that shifts the ground in scholarship about international student mobilities. It takes us through exemplary new literatures to map the collective impact of new state-building projects and novel approaches to market-making. By centring the politics, economics and ethics of international higher education, this book makes an important contribution to debates about the post-pandemic futures of universities." -Ravinder Sidhu, University of Queensland, Australia "In what will be a central text of the field for many years to come, Waters and Brooks raise critical new conceptual and ethical challenges that unsettle many of the orthodoxies that underpin the growing scholarship on educational mobilities and student migration. The chapters weave skilfully between campuses, cities, classrooms and nation-states, drawing forth a nuanced analysis of the changing landscapes of ISM that is carefully attuned to both emergent geopolitics and alternative theoretical perspectives." -Shanthi Robertson, University of Western Sydney, Australia This book explores questions around the meaning and significance of international student migration. Framed in relation to the mobilities - and immobilities - of international students, the book highlights various key themes emerging from the rich interdisciplinary scholarship in this area, including socio-economic diversification in mobile students, the differential value of international higher education, and citizenship and state-building projects. It also discusses the importance of considering ethics in relation to student migrants. This pioneering book will be of interest and value to scholars of student mobilities and the international student experience more widely, as well as practitioners and policy makers. Johanna Waters is Professor of Human Geography University College London, UK, visiting fellow of Kellogg College, Oxford and Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales. She works on aspects of household migration and education with a particular interest in East Asia.

In this chapter, we draw on an analysis of English policy documents and focus groups with students at three English higher education institutions, to explore some of the complexity in the ways in which the concept of student-as-consumer is discussed by both those formulating policy and the intended recipients. In relation to policies, this is evident in some of the apparent contradictions within government documents which, on one hand, emphasise strongly many aspects of a consumer discourse (foregrounding ideas around investment, choice and ensuring value of money) but, on the other hand, also discuss in some detail the vulnerability of students and their need of protection- which is clearly at odds with the notion of an 'empowered consumer'. With respect to students, a similar degree of complexity can be seen in their differential awareness of the student-as-consumer discourse, and their varied responses to it.

"Drawing on the perspectives of scholars and researchers from around the world, this book challenges dominant constructions of higher education students. Given the increasing number and diversity of such students, the book offers a timely discussion of the implicit and sometimes subtle ways that they are characterised or defined. Topics vary from the ways that curriculum designers 'imagine' learners, the complex and evolving nature of student identity work, through to newspaper and TV representations of university attendees. Reimagining the Higher Education Student seeks to question the accepted or unquestioned nature of 'being a student' and instead foreground the contradictions and 'messiness' of such ideation. Offering timely insights into the nature of the student experience and providing an understanding of what students may desire from their Higher Education participation, this book covers a range of issues, including: Impressions versus the reality of being a Higher Education student; Portrayals of students in various media including newspapers, TV shows and online; Generational perspectives on students, and students as family members. It is a valuable resource for academics and students both researching and working in higher education, especially those with a focus on identities, their importance and their constructions"--
