Abstract
My Doctor of Philosophy study (Midgley, 2011) was about the experiences of Saudi students at an Australian university. The data for this study were drawn from a series of narrative discussion groups (Midgley, 2013) in which I asked Saudi participants to tell me about their experiences as international students at an Australian university. As there were no pre-determined questions for these narrative discussion groups, the Saudi participants were able to select which experiences they wished to discuss in the context of this research project.
