Student Mobilities from the Global South

Student Mobilities from the Global South

Student mobilities from the Global South are highly entangled with the economization of Higher Education wordwide and has become more multidirectional and more global than ever before. Higher education institutions in the Global North and in the Global South take remarkable financial advantages from those student mobilities from the Global South. In response to neo-liberal global pressures, Global South students move across the globe to develop and accumulate skills and certificates for transnational upward mobility and successful participation in the highly competetive global job markets. From smooth transitional pathways to stepwise and zigzag mobilities, the diversified experiences of Global South students are coined by intersectional inequalities. The session discusses future perspectives on Global South Student's Mobilities, such as (but not limited to):

• transitions and intersectionality
• adaptation and resistance against colonizing higher education structures and racism
• higher education policies in internationalization in populistic, neo-liberal and autocratic regimes
• decolonization of knowledge production
