Changing Theoretical Perspectives on Transnational Mobility: A Review of the Literature

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Rethinking Education Across Borders

Abstract

This chapter creates a mapping of theories found in the literature on international students published from 2009–2019 to show what has existed in the field. The purpose of this research is to chart theoretical constructs used to interpret international students and to categorize current research with the intent to analyze trends on those who are studying international students. Findings show that the study of international students is an emerging field because there is a lack of commonality in how the field is researched. It also shows that a range of theories are used to study the fields that are aligned with specific academic associations. Finally, there is a varied focus on author’s affiliations, which has the opportunity to represent international perspectives and on the hosting institutions which are not all located in the Global North.
