My new book is here! In this book I draw upon my research with students and educators to examine how we might find meaningful ways to be critical in contemporary times. The book considers some ways we might enact a relational critical practice

A new paper from me: International students and everyday multiculturalism: rethinking ‘connection’ through mundane sites of encounter Available open access at: link.springer.com/article/10.1... Co-authored with Daian Haung, Limanzi Xu, Mumine Ozturk, and Karen Broadhurst Healey (joint 2nd authors)

Dominant narratives of international students in the existing literature paint them as ‘missing’ or living ‘in parallel’ to their local communities, predominantly through evaluating the composition of their friendship networks. In this study, we query whether the use of a new conceptual framework can provide alternative explanations for these defcit framing. Using the lens of ‘everyday multiculturalism’, we explore instead how (international) students encounter, enact, and engage with multiculturalism in their local communities in more micro ways through banal acts of daily living. This has been developed through interviews with 41 international and home students across four cities in Germany, using a photo elicitation method and centring narrative storytelling. This study fnds that microsites of encounter, such as rubbish bins and bus rides, are symbolised by students as meaningful spaces of multicultural encounter and learning. We further refect on how everyday multiculturalism holds a dual function as a site of experienced xenophobia and racism, as well as spaces where stereotypes are confirmed. Together this highlights the value of
alternative conceptual frameworks for critiquing deficit framings of international students’ connections to multicultural societies by highlighting how they *are* multicultural society.

Great to see this new bibliography by @bonstewart.bsky.social that explores belonging in all its multiplicity, and to see the growing educational scholarship that’s unpacking this complex concept
