Thursday 18 November 14:00-16:00 Hong Kong Time
Chair: Dr Benjamin MULVEY
This webinar examines the changing nature of international student mobility in the context of the ‘rebalancing’ of the global political economy, which has contributed to a steady increase in the number of international students in Asia, and the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted migration globally. Through cases presented by the three speakers, it explores how these factors are reshaping mobility and the infrastructures that mediate it, to and within the region.
