Event Details
As the world ramped down towards a global lockdown in 2020 to deal with the COVID-19 crisis, the mobility of international students in, out of and into the UK was disrupted, delayed and disabled. This led to an immediate crisis of budgetary shortfalls for UK HEIs.
This moment of crisis made visible the entangled infrastructures of knowledge, migration and finance that shape the lives of international students. This paper will examine these entanglements and what lessons can be learned for the future.
There will be a chance to ask questions at the end of the seminar presentation via Zoom
