*Winner of the Best Book Award from Researchers and Students and
Study Abroad Programmes at the CIES2019 conference 2019 This book
examines learning-mobility tensions and ties caused by convergences
and divergences of social, organizational and cognitive forces in
global higher education. As some of these forces generate status
anxiety, and others enhanced self-worth, this volume asks the
questions: How can students navigate treacherous education markets
to reduce the former and increase the latter? Which specific forces
and confluences enhance the quality of self-discovery? Does the
search for identity and meaning produce better results when
conducted internationally? Which transformative drivers of global
mobility enhance social mobility? What allows some students to gain
the capacity for impactful higher learning at a time when others
lose it? Why are strategically minded students increasingly
concerned about equality and the quality of contribution to the
common good of education, rather than about their own status? What
makes some places of learning stand out when students recount their
journeys of self-discovery and roads to self-worth? This book
includes a broad range of stories and firsthand perspectives that
are often overlooked in the process of internationalization of
higher education. The narratives offer important insights to
consider, given the ever-increasing disquiets of
competitiveness-oriented global higher education.
