• W865360109 abstract "I first wish to applaud those who gave birth to this journal, which is a timely addition to the scholarly landscape. The increasing presence of international students in the United States is generally under the radar of those who study, advocate, or write about migration or diversity in the United States. And yet, as I have learned through my own research, advocacy, and interactions with international students, this is a group that is central to American diversity, and not an afterthought. I say this for several reasons. First, international students often graduate and remain in our countries because they are valued new entrants to our labor market. Only recently has the U.S. Congress recognized this fact by introducing legislation to loosen the visa barriers that many of our high-achieving science and technology graduates face when they attempt to adjust their status.Second, international students contribute to higher education by exposing us to information and perspectives that we may otherwise have missed. My own international graduate students offer language skills that I do not possess and insights into data sources and academic literature from their home countries. Some of my most memorable teaching moments in class have been stimulated by the contributions of international students who can give their classmates first-hand accounts of the meaning of wearing the hijab in their culture, life under an authoritarian government, or alternative perspectives on textbook histories. I like to quote, with a laugh, a friend's experience in her social work class one day, as they were discussing family life. An international student in the class raised his hand and stated, In American society, divorce is a problem. An American student raised his hand and disagreed: No, in American society, divorce is a solution. This diversity of perspective makes for important educational exchanges. Our students who have the opportunity to study abroad through programs such as Fulbright, as Akli underscores in this issue, become vital players in this exchange as they reintegrate back into their home institutions.Our own boundaries get stretched by the presence of international students. This year, students at my university got the opportunity to splash colored powder all over each other to celebrate the Indian festival of Diwali. Further, international students open our eyes to an appreciation of our own embarrassment of riches, such as teaching methods that emphasize analysis, original thought, writing, and critical thinking. As one immigrant woman that we interviewed for the book Immigration and Women: Understanding the American Experience asked, why are American universities establishing branches in other countries to teach technical subjects such as math and science in which those countries already excel? She recommends the opposite: that these universities should export our more unique model to the world: Liberal arts teach you to be educated, to think.In my recent research and writing on immigration, I insist that we pay more attention to a growing demographic: the cross-border migration of women, who are now the majority of immigrants globally. One chapter in the story is that of higher education. As a result of the global women's movement and other international initiatives, a record number of women are pursuing higher education across the world. UNESCO reports that between 1970 and 2009, the increase in the number of females in higher (tertiary) education was almost twice as high as the increase in the numbers of males (UNESCO, 2012). Women are now in the majority among students in higher education in 93 out of 139 countries (UNESCO, 2012). This tide is not expected to stem. Since nearly one in five students (female and male) who chooses to migrate to another country for her/his university education heads for the United States, it is my country that is among the main beneficiaries of this growing female student population (UNESCO Institute for Statistics, 2012). …" @default.
