The UK Geography of the e-Society
It is simplistic to think of the impacts of new information and communication technologies (NICTs) in terms of a single 'digital divide', or even a small number of them. As developments in what has been termed the 'e-society' reach wider and more generalised audiences, so it becomes appropriate to think of digital media as having wider-ranging but differentiated impacts upon consumer transactions, information gathering, and citizen participation.…
Between racialized and racializing
Research on racism towards international students has predominantly focused on the dichotomy between whites and “Others” (e.g., Black or Asian) in Western contexts. However, relatively few studies have examined these racial dynamics in non-Western settings, despite the growing complexity and diversity of international student mobility, particularly within the Global South. To address this gap, this qualitative study investigates the experiences o…
