What is it really like to study in a new country, socially, academically, and emotionally? In this episode, Learning, Teaching and Research Librarian Michelle Matheson talks with Professor Catherine Gomes, an ethnographer whose research explores three interrelated areas: international student wellbeing, communication, culture and identity, and transient migrations. We hear from Professor Gomes about some of the misconceptions about international students, experiences that are commonly challenging, and approaches for supporting international students that are or could be undertaken at universities.
