It covers crucial topics and facets at all academic levels and stages, from pre-arrival to post-graduation, offering practical guidance on issues such as race, culture, language learning, employment, health, and social life.

Each chapter is dedicated to one phase of academic life, ensuring that students have access to the information they need to thrive both on and off campus. This book is a comprehensive guide that not only provides essential information and resources for international students as they embark on their journey of pursuing higher education in the United States, but also offers guidance on selecting universities, finding resources and support on campus, communicating with faculty and staff, and succeeding academically and socially. This guidebook adds to the current literature by providing critical insights into preparing for and navigating a new environment, thereby disrupting negative narratives surrounding international students' success abroad. Moreover, it fosters a sense of belonging for international students, encouraging them to engage academically, socially, and culturally amidst the intricacies of academic and social life in the United States.

The Impact of COVID-19 on College Students: Implications for Equitable Education across College Life and Academic Success
type: item
description: Call for Contributions to an Edited Collection The Impact of COVID-19 on College Students: Implications for Equitable Education across College Life and Academic Success Edited by Samson Chama,Professor, Alabama A&M University We extend a formal call for contributions to an edited collection that I am currently developing. The volume, tentatively titled “The Impact of COVID-19 on College Students: Implications for Equitable Education across College Life and Academic Success.” The accelerating convergence of local and international social, economic and political problems, threatens to usher in a new age and culture that poses great challenges to education, democratization, participation, representation, connectedness and access. In addition, the emerging networks of disinformation, excessive surveillance, control and collusion, raise increasingly, troubling questions about threats to, or violations of, civil liberties, human rights, privacy, democratic processes and institutions, truth, basic freedoms, autonomy, and so on. The implications are very significant: for example, if social injustices are real, as indeed they are, and if social justice is a meaningful and laudable goal, globally, in the 21st century, and if it is bound to basic freedoms, liberties, autonomy, rights and entitlements, education, health and so on, then social justice may well be facing some serious, and in some cases, unprecedented, challenges in this current age. The phrase “social justice” has become more mainstream in recent times, but it’s existed for hundreds of years. As a concept, social justice gained more importance during the 19th century due to the Industrial Revolution and civil unrest in Europe. People started standing up to dangerous labor conditions, exploitation, and other unfair systems. At its core, social justice is about the fair distribution of opportunities and privileges as they apply to individuals within a society. While at first social justice centered mostly on wealth…

ChatGPT and Global Higher Education: Using Artificial Intelligence in Teaching and Learning
type: item
description: ChatGPT and Global Higher Education: Using Artificial Intelligence in Teaching and Learning Overview The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and advanced language models like ChatGPT are transforming industries and professions worldwide, and higher education is no exception. ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot from the startup OpenAI, has created a substantial amount of conversation and controversy across academia worldwide regarding what it means for education in the classroom today and tomorrow. There is plenty of speculation not only about how those innovations will affect the academic profession, but also what unique opportunities and challenges they present to global higher education. In this book, we delve into the impact of AI in general and chatbots in particular, ChatGPT, on global higher education, examining potential opportunities and challenges that this innovative technology presents to teaching, research, program, and policy. Topics in this volume will include: 1) how AI/ChatGPT is impacting campuses and classrooms globally, 2) the potential ramifications of this tool on the learning process for international students, and 3) an exploration of how AI tools such as ChatGPT can be seen as an ally instead of an adversary in teaching and learning. Purpose The primary purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive, research-driven analysis of AI chatbots’ roles in changing higher education institutions. By exploring their transformative potential of ChatGPT in academic settings, this timely volume aims to bridge the gap between technological innovation and its practical application. The book offers guidance to teacher-scholars, university administrators, and policymakers on leveraging this cutting-edge technology effectively and responsibly in the United States and abroad. Target Audience The book is primarily aimed at: Educators and academic researchers in the fields of education, AI, and technology Higher education administrators, faculty members, a…

International(-ised) Students in East and Southeast Asia: Critical Perspectives
type: item
description: In this volume, we focus on East and South East Asia as the regions with the greatest diversity of transnational and international educational partnerships (Universities UK, 2021), and consequently with the greatest diversity of narratives around the students that take part in them. Moreover, it is becoming more and more apparent that regions such as China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea are amongst the rising powers and are eager global players in education, and whilst still being major sending countries, they are now also increasingly important student destinations. Others in the region, like Brunei, may only begin to develop their transnational education, but have huge national investment behind it, so it will be very interesting to see what narratives around students emerge from these contexts. And now, the global Covid-19 pandemic, which bought the world to a stop in 2020-21and now specifically to the Eastern and Southeastern region where some regions have once again gone into full lock-down. The physical movements of students in these regions have been stopped and stalled, but that does not mean that new forms of movement – virtual/ideational - have not been facilitated through transnational educational partnerships, using the new infrastructures that keep students moving whilst suspended in place. All this makes East and South East Asia an ideal context for the aims of this book (more) which are: To explore student counterflows to what we are used to in terms of traditional international student mobility caused by the specific international/transnational context of East and South East Asia To synthesise and critically evaluate new narratives about international/ transnational students and how they are associated with these counterflows To conceptualise a definition of an international (-ised) student, to invite readers to think with a phrase ‘international(-ised), and to evaluate the use of this phrase against more traditional student narratives For qu…

Elena de Prada Creo, Universidad de Vigo, España, E-mail: edeprada@uvigo.es ; Dr. Santiago Castiello-Gutiérrez Universidad de Arizona, Estados Unidos de América, E-mail: santiagocg@email.arizona.edu La revista científica Journal of International Students (JIS) es una publicación arbitrada trimestral sobre educación internacional (ISSN impreso 2162-3104 e ISSN en línea 2166-3750). Desde su fundación, en 2011, JIS ha buscado publicar artículos sobre estudiantes internacionales en instituciones de educación secundaria y terciaria, así como sobre poblaciones de estudiantes migrantes y desplazados incluyendo refugiados, estudiantes con estatus de protección temporal (e.g. DACA), y minorías indocumentadas. También publica investigaciones sobre profesores e investigadores internacionales. El JIS se distingue por ser una publicación plural, cuenta con un equipo editorial representado por investigadores, especialistas y profesionales en diversas partes del mundo. Contrario a otras revistas de alto impacto en el área de educación internacional, el JIS publica constantemente artículos que cubren regiones del mundo poco exploradas en la literatura; también publica trabajos que utilizan saberes y métodos emergentes y no tradicionales. Prueba de su misión incluyente, y a pesar de ser una revista con base en los Estados Unidos, el JIS ha publicado ya números especiales en otros idiomas diferentes al inglés como lo son el mandarían e indonesio. En esta ocasión, nos enorgullece presentar un nuevo número especial a publicarse en castellano o español. ¿Por qué publicar un número en español? Según datos del Instituto Cervantes, el español es la segunda lengua materna más hablada en el mundo (tan sólo después del mandarín) basado en el número de habitantes. El español es además el tercer idioma con el mayor número de hablantes totales (hablantes nativos + hablantes con competencia limitada + estudiantes de español) después del inglés y el mandarín.
