    Open Access•Huong Thi Lien Nguyen, Ly Thi Tran et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Studies in International…•2026

    Transnational Education has experienced rapid global expansion over the past three decades, yet there are many underresearched aspects.

  • From hosting to regional engagement: A capability approach to understanding international education and public diplomacy from the Indo Pacific community perspective

    Open Access•Ly Thi Tran, Diep Thi Bich Nguyen et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2026

    There has been a growing body of the literature on outbound student mobility, particularly around major programs such as ASEAN International Mobility for Students (AIMS), Australia’s New Colombo Plan (NCP), Europe’s Erasmus+, the UK’s Turing Scheme, the US’s Global Undergraduate Study Abroad Programme, and the University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific (UMAP). However, most research has focused on the experiences of students in host regions, pri…

  • Mapping Australia–China research collaboration in the field of education (2015–2024)

    Xing Xu, Ly Thi Tran et al.•ARTICLE•Higher Education Research &…•2026

    International research collaboration has received sustained scholarly attention, particularly due to its potential to drive innovation through cross-cultural research partnerships and the growing complexity of global challenges that necessitate cross-border knowledge production. However, existing literature has predominantly focused on collaborations within STEM fields, with limited attention to country-pair analyses, especially among nations whe…

  • Merit, metrics, and morality: A qualitative study of academic recruitment discourses in top-tier Chinese universities

    Xing Xu, Ly Thi Tran•ARTICLE•Higher Education Research &…•2026

    Despite extensive research on academic employment, most studies focus on academic careers after hiring. Academic job advertisements as key texts that shape access to academic positions remain underexplored, particularly outside Western contexts. Existing studies largely rely on large-sample quantitative analyses of Western job advertisements. Addressing this gap, this study employs qualitative analysis to examine how top-tier Chinese universities…

  • Strengthening responses to sexual and/or intimate partner violence against women international students: Australian stakeholder perspectives

    Open Access•Mandy Mckenzie, Ly Thi Tran et al.•ARTICLE•Higher Education Research &…•2026

    Women international students face a high risk of intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual violence (SV), yet their experiences have largely been overlooked in responses to violence against women in higher education. These risks are emerging within an increasingly volatile landscape of international education, where tightening migration regimes, politicised public debates and unstable policy settings across major destination countries have exace…

  • Reverse Student Mobility to the Global South and the Decolonisation of International Education: Australian Students' Learning and Regional Engagement in the Indo‐Pacific

    Open Access•Ly Thi Tran, Trang Thuy Le•ARTICLE•European Journal of Education•2026

    International education practices and trends, particularly student mobility, remain largely shaped by Global North perspectives. Although scholars have repeatedly called for the dismantling of Western dominance and supremacy in international education, there is still limited understanding of how this can be achieved and what the decolonising impacts might be. This article examines how reverse student mobility from the Global North (Australia) to …

  • Reconceptualising ‘agency in mobility’: Agency for becoming and other forms of agency in study abroad

    Open Access•Ly Thi Tran, Thinh Huynh•ARTICLE•British Educational Research…•2026

    Study‐abroad programs are increasingly adopted and supported by institutions and governments as a strategic tool for deepening internationalisation and public diplomacy through people‐to‐people, institution‐to‐institution and country‐to‐country connections. Yet, the agency of study‐abroad students who are engaged in outbound mobility as part of their study program in their home institution has long been neglected. This article draws on a study of…

    Purpose This study aims to examine how educators in internationalized higher education contexts develop their professional identities through transformative agency within asymmetrical transnational arrangements.

  • Intercultural change through mobility: How study abroad in the Indo-Pacific reshapes Australian students’ perceptions of international students

    Open Access•Ly Thi Tran, Huyen Bui et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2026

    Study abroad has gained significant momentum over the past two decades, widely recognised for its benefits to students, universities, and both home and host countries. However, most existing research focuses on individual student development, with limited attention to the broader relational impacts, particularly on domestic study-abroad students' perceptions of international peers. This study addresses that gap by examining how Australian student…

    Open Access•Manaia Chou‐Lee, Ly Thi Tran•ARTICLE•European Journal of Education•2025

    This article explores domestic students' engagement in internationalisation, based on data collected from individual and focus group interviews as part of a longitudinal study across four secondary schools in Victoria, Australia.

  • Between Sang subculture and self-formation: An investigation into ‘ Haifei’ in China

    Xing Xu, Ly Thi Tran et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Higher Education•2025

    Despite the booming reverse student mobility in international higher education, pertinent literature is limited due to a narrow focus on the employability and employment of returning graduates, without considering their holistic lived experience in the home context that is subjected to shaping forces of grand narratives that emerge alongside shifting sociohistorical discourses. Shedding light on the emerging ‘Haifei,’ or ‘overseas returning waste…

  • Coming to belong in the university through small acts of connection

    Open Access•Rola Ajjawi, Juan Fischer et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Higher Education•2025

    Belonging is recognised as an important factor in student well-being, persistence and success at university, particularly for first-year students. Belonging is often described as an individual basic human need; to feel accepted, valued, and connected with peers, teaching staff, the curriculum, the university or places and communities. However, less is known about what students do to foster belonging for themselves. This paper adopts a relational …

    Open Access•Laura Tarzia, Carolina Navarro et al.•ARTICLE•Violence Against Women•2025•References: 3

    Sexual violence (SV) and intimate partner violence (IPV) in tertiary institutions have received increased attention in Australia and globally, however, international students have been largely neglected in academic and policy discourse.

    Intercultural interaction plays an important role in contributing to international students’ learning and wellbeing in the host country.
