  • 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.

  • Virtual Exchange: Evidence and Analysis to Advance the Field

Woodman and international teams of researchers explore the complex realities and provide new directions for the rapidly growing field of virtual exchange and its continually evolving models and modalities.

    Written on the Sky comes from the “Origins” collection by Hilary Wilson. This work was inspired by photographic images of nature from above and brought to life with a combination of muted, earthy tones and abstraction. Each piece was completed with dashes of gold acrylic inks to illuminate the colors. Hilary Wilson is a painter and designer focused on exploring brilliant colors and patterns through watercolor, alcohol ink, and acrylics. She is currently based in Frederick, MD, USA, and her original paintings and art prints can be found at www.hilarywilsondesign.com.

  • 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
