This must-read book combines carefully selected contributions to
form a collective scholarly critique of existing research with
international students, focusing on key critical and conceptual
considerations for research where international students are
participants or co-researchers. It pushes forward new agendas for
the future of research with international students in global
contexts, posing new sets of problems, provocations, and
possibilities. Bringing together a range of interdisciplinary
scholars, this book explores the many facets of research which
centres international students and their experiences. Each chapter
concludes with practical reflection questions, suggestions for
researchers, and examples in existing research to support research
designs and aid in developing high quality, critical research on
this topic. Bringing fresh perspectives to the topic of research
with international students, the book focuses on: Outlining current
problems with existing research, including the ways that
international students may be stereotyped, homogenised, Othered, or
framed through deficit and colonial narratives (Re)-conceptualising
key ideas that underpin research which are currently
taken-for-granted Developing reflection points and practical
guidance for new research designs which centre criticality and
ethics Outlining ways that discourses and narratives about
international students can be made more complex, particularly in
reflection of their intersectional identities This key text is
essential reading for researchers at all career stages to reflect
on issues of power, inequality, and ethics, whilst developing
understandings about critical choices in research design, analysis,
and the presentation of findings.

Advanced Nutrition and Dietetics in Gastroenterology provides
informative and broad-ranging coverage of the relation between
nutrition and diet and the gastrointestinal tract. It explores
dietary factors involved in causation of a variety of
gastrointestinal disorders, as well as the effects on diet and the
treatments available. It also provides an overview of anatomy and
physiology, measurement and assessment of function, and dietary
components relevant to gastrointestinal health. ABOUT THE SERIES
Dietary recommendations need to be based on solid evidence, but
where can you find this information? The British Dietetic
Association and the publishers of the Manual of Dietetic Practice
present an essential and authoritative reference series on the
evidence base relating to advanced aspects of nutrition and diet in
selected clinical specialties. Each book provides a comprehensive
and critical review of key literature in its subject. Each covers
established areas of understanding, current controversies and areas
of future development and investigation, and is oriented around six
key themes: Disease processes, including metabolism, physiology,
and genetics Disease consequences, including morbidity, mortality,
nutritional epidemiology and patient perspectives Nutritional
consequences of diseases Nutritional assessment, drawing on
anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, dietary, economic and social
approaches Clinical investigation and management Nutritional and
dietary management Trustworthy, international in scope, and
accessible, Advanced Nutrition and Dietetics is a vital resource
for a range of practitioners, researchers and educators in
nutrition and dietetics, including dietitians, nutritionists,
doctors and specialist nurses.
How does light look when left entirely to itself? If you look into
an empty box full of light and the light is not refelcted on
surfaces, you will see blackness. Only when there is an object for
the light to fall upon can we see the presence of light. Light and
shadow, love and loss, the extraordinary and the everyday are
captured through the lens of this evocative new collection of
fiction. Camera Obscura moves through Greece, Italy and France,
across to Japan and into the Australian suburbs, as its characters
take journeys into themselves and away from their pasts. A mother's
shattered view of the world is healed through her friendship with a
blind man, and a mortician, unable to engage in life, finds solace
among the dead. A couple plays out the final moments of a fading
love, while an old man sets out to rekindle an enduring love from
long ago.
The LUBILOSA (Lutte Biologique contre les Locustes et Sauteriaux)
Programme was initiated in 1989 and has been successful in
developing a bioinsecticide for the biological control of locusts
and grasshoppers. The efficacy of the product named Green Muscle
has been clearly demonstrated in Africa, and provides an
environmentally friendly alternative to chemical insecticides.
Although it predates the Convention on Biological Diversity,
LUBILOSA has been conducted in accordance with the benefit sharing
and related provisions of the Convention.This book provides a
review of the program in order to demonstrate how such research and
product commercialization can be accomplished in the context of a
development assistance project. In particular it shows how the
provisions of the Convention can be fulfilled with respect to:
equitable sharing of research results and benefits, access to and
transfer of technology, exchange of information, technical and
scientific cooperation, participation in research and financial
resources.
This book offers a comprehensive overview and critical analysis of
the UK's policy on recruiting international students. In a global
context of international education policy, it examines changes from
New Labour policies under Tony Blair's Prime Minister's Initiative,
to the more recent Coalition and Conservative Government policies
in the International Education Strategy. The research uses a
text-based approach to primary research, adopting a critical
framework developed by Carol Bacchi ('what is the problem
represented to be'?). The book argues that international student
policy can be reduced to reasons for and against recruiting
international students; in doing so, students are represented as
ambassadors for the UK or tools in its public diplomacy, consumers
and generators of reputation, means to get money, and as migrants
of questionable legitimacy. These homogenizing representations have
the potential to shape international education, implicating
academics as agents of policy, and infringing on students'
self-formation. The book will be compelling reading for students
and researchers in the fields of education and sociology, as well
as those interested in education policy-making.
