Review of Student Migrants and Contemporary Educational Mobilities By Johanna L. Waters & Rachel Brooks

Student Migrants and Contemporary Educational Mobilities (2021), written by Johanna Waters and Rachel Brooks, is a multidisciplinary study that explores the increase in international student mobility in recent years by considering conceptual, political, and ethical perspectives. Following the authors' earlier production, Student Mobilities, Migration and the Internationalization of Higher Education, published in 2011, the authors state this new work aims to explain the changes that have occurred in the past few years in the literature on migration and education, examining existing definitions and offering a critical look at theoretical approaches with depth (p.3-8). Another prominent feature of the book is that, after a systematic literature review, it questions the existing structure of the literature, its epistemology, and the conditions of knowledge production. Therefore, in addition to synthesizing the concept of student mobility and migration, the authors scrutinize the political nature of these processes by contributing some critical perspectives to the existing literature.
