Upcoming Seminar | From Belonging to Uncertainty: Understanding International Student Precarity
Presented by Dr. Gloria Lin
International students are often understood through isolated challenges such as financial hardship, housing insecurity, or mental health concerns. This colloquium shifts the focus from individual resilience toward the governing logics that produce and sustain precarity, examining how legal, economic, and social forms of insecurity intersect in the lives of international students. Drawing on research with international students in BC, it offers a new framework for conceptualizing precarity and explores its implications for higher education policy and practice.
