Reviews

Asian perspectives on the internationalisation policies and practices of Canadian universities bring both insights and disturbing questions that demand attention, given the tremendous potential for cultural enrichment that Asian students bring. This volume gives voice to a wide range of students and faculty across the country whose in-depth research exposes the inequities and imbalances of policies at both federal and institutional levels while also putting forward constructive proposals for transformation. A must read for all who care about the future of internationalization in our universities. --Ruth Hayhoe, Professor, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, President emerita, the Education University of Hong Kong This volume is a timely and welcome addition to the expanding scholarship on the internationalization of higher education and international student mobility which arrives at a time when the international community is facing unprecedented challenges with the global pandemic and anti-Asian racism. Featuring sixteen chapters, the collection offers a comprehensive and perspective-rich analysis of the racialized experiences of international students from Asia in Canadian universities. This is a much needed contribution to the field. --Shibao Guo, Professor, Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary This timely collection focuses on the institutional challenges that Asian international students face in Canadian universities. While various levels of the Canadian government are eager for international students to migrate to Canada, and universities adopt diverse strategies to attract them, little institutional support is available for them upon their arrival. One of the important contributions of this book is the inclusion of graduate students' research papers. --Sutama Ghosh, Associate Professor, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Toronto Metropolitan University This vital examination of institutional practices in recruiting and supporting international students in Canadian higher education will open important discussions and reforms. --Lorna Marsden, President emerita, York University This book provides a thorough understanding of international students from Asia in Canada. It deals with an important yet seldom addressed topic in sociological studies. The editors have compiled a series of papers, with cross-referencing among them, on the institutional, economic, social, and political implications of the presence of international students from Asia in Canadian universities. The book should become a key source for understanding this group of students in the Canadian education system for years to come. --Eric Fong, Chair Professor in Sociology, The University of Hong Kong
