EuMIGS Lecture - Experience of international students and everyday bordering, by Yao Wang

Yao Wang - Newcastle University Understanding the experience of internationally mobile students in the context of everyday bordering Everyday bordering encompasses the continuous construction of borders through various facets such as ideology, cultural mediation, discourses, political institutions, attitudes, and everyday forms of transnationalism. Universities have emerged as pivotal arenas for the manifestation of everyday bordering. Internationally mobile students encounter a myriad of challenges stemming from cultural differences, issues of identity, and the potential for social isolation, these further complicated by their legal status, requiring them to negotiate the complex web of laws governing visas, residency, and citizenship. Hence, it is important to understand their emotional and intellectual work involved in negotiating, sustaining and/or developing a sense of belonging while dealing with everyday bordering. This session aims to shed light on the experiences of internationally mobile students in the UK and elucidate the rationale behind initiating a research project dedicated to unravelling the intricacies of everyday bordering experiences in the UK and Germany.
