International student activism histories show how education can foster democracy
The very presence of international students on university campuses is a political matter that depends on a measure of good will between the host and home countries.
Just published an article in The Conversation on international student activism & the politics of higher ed that follows up on the book we published last year in light of the current targeting of international students in the US theconversation.com/internationa... @uvicsocialsciences.bsky.social

Even a capped, time-limited youth visa scheme would be of value to young people in the UK and EU
More than 60 Labour MPs have signed a letter calling on the government to support a youth mobility agreement with the EU.
In the run-up to the Uk-EU summit on 19 May, @johannawaters.bsky.social has written a great piece about the value of even a time-limited youth mobility scheme. There’s also brief mention of our forthcoming book!
