International student experiences: Interview with Professor Catherine Gomes

from RMIT University Library Podcast

What is it really like to study in a new country, socially, academically, and emotionally? In this episode, Learning, Teaching and Research Librarian Michelle Matheson talks with Professor Catherine Gomes, an ethnographer whose research explores three interrelated areas: international student wellbeing, communication, culture and identity, and transient migrations. We hear from Professor Gomes about some of the misconceptions about international students, experiences that are commonly challenging, and approaches for supporting international students that are or could be undertaken at universities.Music: "Breathing Out" by Mid-Air Machine is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0Guest: Professor Catherine GomesInterview host: Michelle Matheson Hosted on Acast.
