This funding contributed to three academic presentations and the following articles in 2022: Brotherhood, T. (Forthcoming, 2023) "Lives on hold: Prospective international students and the #JapanTravelBan". Journal of International Students. The paper offers broader suggestions for appropriate student migration policymaking: greater transparency, attention to students’ security throughout their study sojourn, an emphasis on stability, and resilience to crises.Brotherhood, T. (Under Review) "International faculty: Exploring the relationship between on-campus support and off-campus integration" Higher Education. This study reveals that on-campus support is associated with higher levels of integration in Japanese society, but there are deficiencies in the linguistic and social support offered by universities. These findings indicate that universities seeking to attract and retain international talent should invest in language learning support services, and reflect on the intermediary role they play between international faculty members and the local community.
