Research with International Students (RIS) jobs and careers

About Research with International Students (RIS)

Research with International Students (RIS) is an interdisciplinary network of global scholars whose research includes international students as participants or co-researchers. Many of our network members focus on the experiences and treatment of international students within higher education. We take a critical approach to our research and critique common deficit framings of international students in research and practice. Collectively, our research considers issues of power, privilege, ethics, inclusivity, and fairness. We critique issues embedded into our research field such as, but not limited to, biases, prejudices, xenophobia, racism, and coloniality. As a network, we value open access research, community, mentorship, and support. This network is led by its co-founders Jenna Mittelmeier and Sylvie Lomer. Our Early Career Researcher Network branch is led by Andreana Pastena, Gourangi Kumar, and Arif Abu. Our online writing retreats are led by Luman Zhou, Shannon Hutcheson, Trang Nugyen, and Nannan Lu. We have a podcast curated by Asuka Ichikawa.
