This issue features thought-provoking studies on identity-based social networks of international students in Australia, the academic and cultural challenges faced by Asian graduate students in the U.S., and comparative trends in student mobility between China and abroad. Additional articles explore factors shaping the academic self-efficacy of Caribbean students, the academic struggles of international undergraduates, and differences in pedagogical practices among international and domestic teaching assistants in mathematics. Complementing these studies is a reflective narrative on the journey to becoming a global researcher and a review of an essential guide for intercultural communication. This volume offers valuable insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers dedicated to fostering success and inclusivity in global student mobility.
