Gendering International Student Migration
2009-2013
Project Summary
This project offers a gendered analysis of the international student flows in the India-Canada corridor. The study is located at the nexus of gender and mobility scholarship, and adopts Gendered Geographies of Power as a foundational framework. It examines the experiences of Indian international students across three spatio-temporal locations: before the students left India; while abroad in Toronto; and their return to New Delhi, India. The research employs a multi-sited, mixed-methods approach to data collection.
