Student Migrants and Contemporary Educational Mobilities
This book explores questions around the meaning and significance of international student migration. Framed in relation to the mobilities – and immobilities – of international students, the book highlights various key themes emerging from the rich interdisciplinary scholarship in this area, including socio-economic diversification in mobile students, the differential value of international higher education, and citizenship and state-building projects. It also discusses the importance of considering ethics in relation to student migrants. This pioneering book will be of interest and value to scholars of student mobilities and the international student experience more widely, as well as practitioners and policy makers.

Family Fear
Hi. This is fifteen-year-old Rachel Brooks again. In my first book 'Family Secrets' I told you how I found out I was abandoned as a baby and adopted. A fact that totally freaked me out!After loads of trouble trying to trace my birth family and all the tension my search caused at home, I was really looking forward to getting away for the summer. I looked forward to a fun-filled, relaxing summer in Scarborough, visiting my gran and all my old friends but that was so not what I got!As soon as I arrived, sleezy Joshua Green tried to chat me up. Later he cornered me and his hands roamed a bit too far. When I 'convinced' him to let me go he was not very happy, to say the least, and threatened revenge. The next day my gran didn't come home from the day centre.With only a few weeks of my visit left, I had to find out who hurt my gran and bring them to justice. But who was it? After what happened with Joshua, I was totally convinced it was him and set out to trap him, but at the same time I was being stalked by a weird nurse. Did she have anything to do with gran's injuries?I had to work fast, but didn't know that my hunt for justice would actually put my own life in danger.
Student Politics and Protest
Despite allegations of political disengagement and apathy on the part of the young, the last ten years have witnessed a considerable degree of political activity by young people – much of it led by students or directed at changes to the higher education system.

Student Politics and Protest: International Perspectives offers a unique contribution to the disciplines of education, sociology, social policy, politics and youth studies. It provides the first book-length analysis of student politics...
