It’s Just Too Much: Narratives of International Educators Navigating Covid-19
Balancing Compliance and Student Support: The Multiple Roles of International Educators in the US
International educators have continually served on the front lines supporting international students, ensuring university compliance with changing federal policies, and assessing risks related to travel and global engagement. As a result, international educators often have to navigate multiple conflicting roles within their jobs on college campuses. This study used role identity theory to examine how international education administrators made se…
Rage In (and Out) the Cage: Black Students' Negotiation of Safety
This study explored the dynamic nature of 42 Black undergraduate and graduate students' senses of safety as it relates to their college campuses due to the shifting vulnerabilities exposed in the current political and societal climate. We sought to make meaning of the pervasive threat to Black students' safety related to their campus, which is linked to and transcends physical proximity to the campus.

Using a systematic review, this analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of how global mobility shapes and is shaped by U.S. higher education, particularly i…
I disagreed with a lot of values: Exploring Black immigrant agency in ethnic-racial socialization
Our college degree: Familial engagement in the lives of diverse Black collegians
The purpose of this study was to examine the role of family in the educational success of diverse Black college students. We offer a more nuanced examination of how Black families influence academic achievement and college going by disaggregating Black college student data by nativity and immigrant generation. Our findings demonstrate how Black families’ focus on race and nationality pride as well as the use of familial motivation to prepare Blac…
We need to stick together for survival”: Black college students’ racial identity, same-ethnic friendships, and campus connectedness
"Black Elephant in the Room": Black Students Contextualizing Campus Racial Climate Within US Racial Climate
The systemic racism in U.S. society being resisted through larger movements such as Black Lives Matter is also reflected and reproduced in U.S. higher education. This qualitative study examines how Black students contextualize their campus racial climate within broader race issues, tensions, and movements occurring across the nation. Findings reveal four themes: (1) Perceptions of Blackness on campus; (2) Campus racial climate mirroring societal …
An intersectional understanding of African international graduate students’ experiences in U.S. higher education
Exploring the intersection of transnationalism and critical race theory: A critical race analysis of international student experiences in the United States
International student mobility to the United States (US) has increased over the past two decades. Despite the increase in numbers, international students may experience racism, nativism, and other forms of discrimination within the US context. Much of the existing literature focus on how international students can assimilate and cope with these issues rather than interrogating the systems of oppression that create negative student experiences. Th…

Me and My Family: Ethnic Differences and Familial Influences on Academic Motivations of Black Collegians
Chrystal A. George Mwangi, Nina Daoud, Shelvia English, Kimberly A.

Being Black (and) Immigrant Students: When Race, Ethnicity, and Nativity Collide
While Black immigrants share some of the racialized experiences of native-black Americans, they also have distinctive experiences. U.S. education presents an important environment to investigate these experiences as immigrants have the fastest growing child population and these children are increasingly entering the education system. This paper engages a systematic review of the growing body of literature centering on Black immigrants across the …
Examining Intraracial Dynamics and Engagement Between Native-Born and Foreign-Born Black Collegians in STEM
For decades, higher education research has recognized the importance of cross-cultural interaction among students. However, this body of scholarship has largely examined this phenomenon across races, with few researchers examining within race interactions. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to examine how native-born and foreign-born Black students interact in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classrooms. Findings re…
Collegians creating (counter)space online: A critical discourse analysis of the I, Too, Am social media movement
Defining diversity: Ethnic differences in Black students’ perceptions of racial climate
This qualitative study addresses the potential range of perspectives within the Black student community, focusing specifically on differences by ethnicity and nativity. Narratives were collected from 43 Black students (15 native, 28 immigrants) enrolled at a predominantly White research institution

Foreign-born students of color arrive in the United States with racial and cultural orientations specific to their country of origin, which are often quite distinct from issues of race and racism within the U.S. context. This qualitative study examines the college experiences of 15 foreign-born students of color to address the research question: How do foreign-born students of color perceive and respond to racialized experiences and their racial …
