Include Me Out

Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Pedagogy - Higher Education, University of Sunderland, language: English, abstract: As migration grows within higher education, so too does the need for the institutions to develop appropriate strategies to deal with the dynamics of the situation. Personal experience has highlighted the lack of guidance relating to individual relationships, leaving each individual international student to their own devices to develop their own coping strategies. There has been much activity based around the overall student-institution relationship. This tends to identify problems but without resolution because each requires a different approach. Much research has identified areas of concern but there is no great consideration of what created that problem at the micro-level. This paper endeavours to draw attention to the need to investigate individual dilemmas through consideration of visitor-host interactions and host community aspects of exclusion and inclusion.
