Higher education and migrant flows: Japanese universities as migration intermediaries

这笔资金用于2022年的三次学术演讲和以下文章：兄弟会，T.（即将出版，2023年）“被搁置的生活：未来的国际学生和#日本旅行禁令”。国际学生杂志。本文为适当的学生移民政策制定提供了更广泛的建议：提高透明度，关注学生在留学期间的安全，强调稳定，以及对危机的适应能力。兄弟会，T.（审查中），“国际教师：探索校内支持与校外融合之间的关系”，《高等教育》。本研究表明，校园支持与日本社会融合程度较高有关，但大学提供的语言和社会支持存在不足。这些发现表明，寻求吸引和留住国际人才的大学应该投资于语言学习支持服务，并反思他们在国际教师和当地社区之间发挥的中介作用。

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.
