"Higher Education and Immigration Pathways is a timely contribution that advances our understanding of the lived experiences of international, undocumented, and refugee/asylee students as they navigate through the transition from higher education into the U.S. workforce. By highlighting the voices of international students and their advocates, this edited collection calls attention to the "immigration pathways" that can best assist the utilization of international students' skills as an integral part of the U.S. labor market. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in understanding how higher education and immigration are interconnected. It is a must read for higher education administrators, policymakers, and student advocates aiming to foster meaningful work prospects for immigrant student populations.


" --CindyAnn Rose-Redwood, Associate Teaching Professor of Geography, University of Victoria, Canada "In Higher Education and Immigration Pathways in the U.S., the often-siloed experiences of international students, refugees/asylees, and undocumented students are brought together, highlighting their shared challenges and aspirations in accessing higher education and navigating the U.S. labor market. In a time of increasing global mobility and complex immigration landscapes, the book is a powerful call for a more just and equitable approach to immigration, one that recognizes the multifaceted contributions of these students and creates pathways for them to fully realize their potential, enriching both the U.S. workforce and the broader social fabric.


" --Chris R. Glass, Professor of the Practice, Lynch School of Education and Human Development From restrictive regulations to limited post-graduation employment-based pathways, globally mobile students encounter a variety of challenges accessing the labor market. Yet, they are considered to be a highly sought after future labor pool that can bolster a nation's workforce and economy. This book brings together scholars in various fields to examine the migration and immigration dimensions of the globally mobile student experience, and to expand understanding of this population in theory and practice. Drawing upon an array of empirical research approaches, this timely book highlights scholarship exploring the lived experiences of international students, refugee/asylee, and undocumented students in accessing higher education and post-graduation employment. As highly resourceful individuals, these students have exercised their agency to persevere in their career paths, despite the hurdles. This edited collection is a call to reimagine higher education access and pathways to the labor market in an unprecedented tide of human movement.
