This book explores how the recruitment and retention of Asian
international students in Canadian universities intersects with
other institutional priorities. Responding to the growing need for
new insights and perspectives on the institutional mechanisms
adopted by Canadian universities to support Asian international
students in their academic and social integration to university
life, it crucially examines the challenges at the intersection of
two institutional priorities: internationalization and anti-racism.
This is especially important for the Asian international student
group, who are known to experience invisible forms of
discrimination and differential treatment in Canadian
post-secondary education institutions. The authors present new
conceptualisations and theoretical perspectives on topics including
international students’ experiences and understandings of race
and racism, comparisons with domestic students and/or non-Asian
students, institutional discourse and narratives on Asian
international students, comparison with other university
priorities, cross-national comparisons, best practices, and recent
developments linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. Foregrounding the
institutional strategies of Canadian universities, as opposed to
student experience exclusively, this direct examination of
institutional responses and initiatives draws out similarities and
differences across the country, compares them within the broader
array of university priorities, and ultimately offers the
opportunity for Canadian universities to learn from each other in
improving the integration of Asian international students and
others to their student body. It will appeal to teacher-scholars,
researchers and educators with interested in higher education,
international education and race and ethnic studies.
