Special Issue: Internationalization of Higher Education in Spanish-Speaking Countries
Vol. 13 No. S1 (2023)Spearheaded by distinguished scholars Santiago Castiello Gutiérrez and Elena De Prada Creo, this special issue embarks on a crusade to underscore the growing prominence of the Spanish language, which boasts nearly 500 million native speakers and a promising future, particularly in the United States where the Hispanic population is burgeoning. Recognizing the lack of in-depth research on the experiences of international students in Spanish-speaking countries, this issue serves as a beacon of optimism for the Spanish language, spotlighting diverse facets of the internationalization process of higher education in Spanish-speaking nations. This edition, unprecedented in its use of Spanish as a medium of knowledge dissemination, champions the enhancement of international student experiences and the strategizing of internationalization endeavors in higher education institutions within the Hispanic sphere, signalling a groundbreaking shift in the global academic landscape.

Ilustración de la portada por Sergio Carreño Garza
Título: Reflejo de un valiente
Técnica: Crayón sobre cartulinaEste número especial de la revista Journal of International Students trata sobre la internacionalización de la educación superior en los países de habla hispana. El lazo que une a estos países es el uso común del idioma español. En ese sentido, queríamos representar en la portada de este número algún emblema de nuestra lengua. La obra literaria más significativa de la lengua española es sin duda “El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha” escrita por el célebre Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra en 1605. Además, como se detalla en la introducción, la elección del retrato del Quijote de la Mancha como portada busca representar un símil entre esta épica novela y nuestro campo de estudio.
Don Quijote, el caballero idealista, representa el deseo constante de superación y el anhelo de expandir el conocimiento más allá de las fronteras. Al igual que Don Quijote emprendió su búsqueda de la justicia social y la verdad, los países de habla hispana están en una búsqueda continua de la internacionalización educativa, buscando expandir sus horizontes y enriquecer sus sistemas educativos.
El retrato de Don Quijote también simboliza la valentía y la determinación necesarias para afrontar los desafíos que conlleva implementar estrategias de internacionalización. Al igual que Don Quijote enfrentó gigantes imaginarios con coraje, nuestros países se enfrentan a desafíos contemporáneos, como la adaptación a nuevos métodos de enseñanza, la promoción de la diversidad cultural y lingüística, la expansión y distribución equitativa de oportunidades de internacionalización y la colaboración internacional con otras instituciones educativas.
Agradecemos infinitamente la generosidad del artista mexicano Sergio Carreño Garza por permitirnos utilizar una de sus ilustraciones del Quijote de la Mancha como portada de este número especial. Sergio, nacido en la ciudad de Monterrey, Nuevo León, México en el año de 1949, es un coach empresarial especializado en temas de liderazgo y recursos humanos quien en sus tiempos libres disfruta de escribir, pintar, e ilustrar.

Special Issue on Lived Experiences in an Era of Unprecedented Uncertainty and Challenges: New Voices from Intersectional Identities
Vol. 12 No. S2 (2022)In this special issue, Lived Experiences in an Era of Unprecedented Uncertainty and Challenges: New Voices from Intersectional Identities, co-editors Charles Mathies and Katie Koo explore the intersectionality of the identities of international students as they deal with occurrences of discrimination and marginalization.
As the title of this special edition issue suggests, these past few years have been challenging to say the least. The crossroads are not only a metaphor for the tough decisions that were made, but they also represent intersectionality and crossing paths with others who overcame their own bumps in the road. By combining illustrative and photographic elements to emulate a collage-like design, Emilie Jacob alludes to the international students who have had to “cut and paste” themselves into an entirely new environment during these trying times. Many scholars had to adjust to this era of uncertainty and reroute their directions along the way, but their educational destinations remained the same. The artist, Emilie Jacob's design philosophy, like Frank Lloyd Wright, stems around the idea of balancing form and function within artwork. Her goal for this project was to design a cover in which the aesthetic was equally as powerful as the core message behind it. To learn more about Emilie Jacob: https://linktr.ee/emilievjacob
