Title: How do international student recruiters navigate their work to recruit Chinese international students? An Institutional Ethnographic Study about international student recruiters’ work
Date: October 8th, 2024
Time: 12:30 pm – 2 pm
Location: PCN 2012, 6445 University Blvd, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z2
Presenter: Yu (Jade) Guo
Abstract: The recruitment of international students has become an essential element of internationalization for Canadian post-secondary institutions, as bringing international students to Canada not only helps respond to budget shortfalls and generate revenue but also acts as a national-building project to attract future immigrants for economic prosperity (Bozhewa, 2018; Buckner et al., 2020). Despite the extensive research on international education, there is a gap in understanding the daily activities and challenges faced by international student recruiters (ISRs), the frontline workers with international students. Using Dorothy Smith’s (2005) Institutional Ethnography as both a theoretical and methodological framework, this study examines the standpoints of ISRs, and explicates how the work of international student recruiters is socially organized in Canadian post-secondary institutions. The research also aims to elucidate the links between ISRs’ experience in their local organizational settings and the extralocal ruling relations through text-based discourse, including international education policies, Canadian immigration policies, and media discourse, making the invisible discourse and power visible in the activities of recruitment of international students.

TRADE SECRETS AND THE EVERYDAY KNOWLEDGE OF PUBLISHING
WORKSHOP FOR ASPIRING AUTHORS Led by Professor. Leslie G. Roman, Educational Studies
The process of publishing in refereed journals, academic and trade presses can appear opaque, if not mystifying. You may be wondering what different types of journals expect from prospective authors? How does one research and appropriately select a refereed journal when considering the best placement for your work? What is the difference between academic and trade publishers? What must one do to move a conference paper into a refereed publication? How does one navigate conflicting reviews and build rapport with the editor to secure that top tier publication? To find out answers to these everyday trade secrets of publishing, come join the workshop.
Prof. Roman is a sociologist of education, qualitative researcher who focuses on youth, disability studies and antiracism as intersectional.
