International Student Experiences in the United States and Canada: A Multidisciplinary Examination of Challenges, Prospects, and Opportunities (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798895240540)

This edited volume offers a rigorous, multidimensional exploration of the international student journey across the United States and Canada. Drawing on diverse disciplinary perspectives and current research, the book illuminates the cultural, academic, and psychosocial challenges students face-from initial adjustment and language barriers to identity development and community integration-while also highlighting the long-term opportunities that shape their educational and professional trajectories. Beyond documenting student experiences, the book situates international education within broader demographic and workforce realities, particularly the growing reliance on global talent to address aging labor markets in North America. By bringing together scholars worldwide, this volume provides a timely, comprehensive resource for researchers, educators, policymakers, and higher education leaders committed to supporting international student success and strengthening global mobility pathways.
