International students from South Asia represent a significant proportion of the international student population in Australia and the United Kingdom (UK), yet their unique challenges and contributions to employability discourses remain underexplored, particularly in relation to institutional and government policy and practice differences. Drawing on Yosso’s Cultural Wealth Framework, this study examines how South Asian postgraduate international…
A tale of resilience
Barriers of international academics in higher education are well captured in the literature. However, literature on a holistic view including barriers, opportunities, strategies and success (B.O.S.S) is scarce. This article, underpinned by the B.O.S.S framework, encapsulates a holistic depiction of lived experiences of three academics in Australia, while participating in a virtual inter-institutional mentoring programme for international women ac…
Leading across borders
This scoping review aimed to map the literature to explore the experiences of international academics in relation to leadership. Underpinned by best practice standards in the conduct and reporting of scoping reviews, four academic databases (ERIC, A+ Education, and Scopus) and grey literature (Google, Google Scholar) were systematically searched. Two independent reviewers completed a two-stage screening to identify eligible studies with data on a…

Comparative Reflections on Human-Driven and Generative Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Thematic Analysis
Thematic analysis is a well known qualitative analytic method, usually driven by a human researcher to analyze qualitative data. However, in the current age of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) technologies revolution, analyzing qualitative data is evolving. Many research studies have explored the potential of GAI to conduct qualitative data analysis. However, limited studies have explored the collaborative autoethnography qualitative appr…
Migrant academics’ career capital experiences in Australian universities
A Foot in the Australian Employment Door
In the recent years, Australia has been seeking highly skilled migrants to close the skill gap and increase economic participation in the labour market. Although women are predominant among recent migrants in Australia, they experience higher unemployment rates than male migrants. Previous research has shown that one key challenge they face is their family responsibilities that hinder them in the employment market. In this study, factors in gaini…
Unequal opportunities in accessing employability‐related programmes
Limited scholarly work has been conducted on obtaining equal opportunities to participate in employability‐related programmes by international students while studying in Australia. Drawing on a qualitative study, 20 South Asian postgraduates were interviewed to explore their experiences in accessing employability‐related programmes. Based on the findings, South Asian graduates have experienced unequal opportunities in accessing employability‐rela…
Is teaching and learning in Chinese higher education classrooms internationalized? Perspectives from international students in China
While China has emerged as a leading host country for international students, it reinforces its determination to build a global knowledge system by integrating Chinese and Western epistemological traditions in teaching and learning to promote epistemic justice. The study aims to explore international students’ challenges to current approaches to teaching and learning in Chinese higher education institutions in relation to the internationalization…
South Asian Postgraduate International Students’ Employability Barriers
There is significant research on the motivations and migration experiences of South Asian international students in Australia and the United Kingdom (UK); however, the employability journeys of this group are not well understood. This article addresses this gap, illuminating the specific employability challenges experienced and perceived by South Asian postgraduate international students enrolled in Australia and the UK. Drawing on qualitative re…
Graduate Employability Across Contexts
International students in Chinese elite universities and employability capital
The article explores how international students in China are engaging with employability-related programmes to enhance their employment outcomes in their home countries, underpinned by the Graduate Capital Model (GCM). Thirty international students in China participated in in-depth interviews. Findings revealed that international students studying at elite universities in China are very aware of building and enhancing their employability via key …
Graduate Employability Across Contexts
Academic resilience among international students
International education and graduate employability
This article investigates how international educational experiences affect the employment opportunities of Chinese who graduated from an Australian university. Findings based on 26 semi-structured interviews highlight that Chinese students who graduated from Australia gained a web of capital (i.e., human, cultural, psychological and identity), which facilitated their employment upon return home. However, social capital, which is critical in China…
Enhancing international student experience
The literature on international students predominantly emanates from the Western perspective and offers rich insights into international students’ adaptation experiences. While university services improve these experiences, limited studies have investigated the role of pre-support assistance prior to students’ arrival. This paper fills that gap from a non-Anglophone perspective, using 31 semi-structured, thematically analysed interviews with post…
