Critics Review
“A deeply humane book that brings queer international students to the center of debates about mobility, identity, freedom, and higher education, while illuminating the promises and contradictions of studying abroad.”
—Maia Chankseliani, Professor of Comparative and International Education, University of Oxford; author of What Happened to the Soviet University? and Seeing Otherwise
“Finding Freedom? expertly complicates our understanding of educational opportunities and intersectional oppressions within a global context. This volume fills a critical gap in higher education scholarship.”
—Chrystal A. George Mwangi, Professor of Higher Education, George Mason University; author of Hidden in Blackness and (Re)Framing College Access by and with Communities of Color
“A timely and important contribution, Campbell centers the voices of queer international students while offering critical insights that will challenge, inform, and inspire scholars, practitioners, and policymakers.”
—Andrew Herridge, Assistant Professor of Educational Research and Administration, University of Southern Mississippi; coeditor of Perspectives on Transforming Higher Education and the LGBTQIA Student Experience
“Campbell’s book shines a vital light on how queer international students’ intersectional identities and experiences cannot be wholly divorced from contextual factors of their home country or the United States.”
—Max Crumley-Effinger, Assistant Director, International Student Affairs, Emerson College
