Join our upcoming event: "Language as power: The role of linguistic gatekeeping in research with international students" led by Akanksha Dochania (University of Delhi) 23 May 2025 13:00 – 14:00 IST / 8:30 – 9:30 am GMT Online via Zoom Register at: zoom.us/meeting/regi...

This webinar critically examines the impact of English-language dominance in global academia on Indian international students, focusing on the intersecting challenges of caste, race, and geographic marginalization from rural areas or Tier 3-4 cities. As English remains the dominant medium of scholarly communication, Indian students from these backgrounds face amplified barriers in publishing and collaboration due to linguistic gatekeeping. These challenges, rooted in systemic inequities, marginalize voices already sidelined by caste hierarchies, racialized perceptions abroad, and limited access to quality education in rural or smaller urban centers. Through an intersectional lens, this webinar explores how these dynamics shape their academic experiences, highlighting their unique struggles and innovative strategies to resist exclusion. By fostering dialogue among researchers, educators, and students, the session aims to propose equitable solutions tailored to the Indian context, contributing to a more inclusive global academic landscape.

This book presents an in-depth look at the stories of nine international college students as they pursued degrees in the U.S. Drawing on recurring interviews with the students and other qualitative data collected over four years, the book investigates how the students' academic development intersected with other factors, including their status as international students, their linguistic backgrounds, their professional ambitions, and their experiences of living in a new sociocultural environment.

The US has arrested and is trying to deport an international student in his university housing over his political beliefs, but I’ve heard crickets from our research field. We need to all be engaging with the politics surrounding our field right now.
