As globalisation deepens, student mobility and migration has not only impacted economy and institutions, it has also infused human desires, imaginaries, experiences and subjectivities. In Transnational Students and Mobility, Hannah Soong portrays the vexed nexus of education and migration as a site of multiple tensions and existence and examines how the notion of imagined mobility through education-migration nexus transforms the social value of international education and transnational mobility.
"The nexus between international education and migration is a complex one, and suggests a new kind of transnational cultural politics, transforming the notion of migrancy itself. This book provides a wonderful analysis of the aspirations of international students to embrace the new possibilities that transnationalism now offers -- of global mobility, opportunities and flexible citizenship." - Professor Fazal Rizvi, Melbourne Graduate School of Education, The University of Melbourne, Australia
"This richly detailed book interestingly reveals how multiple and conflicting logics of belonging and imagining generates new understandings of the processes of transnationalism, migration and identity." - John Urry, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, Lancaster University, UK
