In September 2016, Professor Louise Morley, Professor Nafsika Alexiadou and Dr José González Monteagudo were on secondment to the Roma Education Fund, Budapest, where they worked with Dr Marius Taba and Dr Stela Garaz to write a paper Internationalisation and Migrant Academics: The Hidden Narratives of Mobility. The paper was based on interviews with 14 migrant academics (of whom four were members of the Roma community). The research findings suggest that there is a a complex coagulation of opportunities and constraints. While there are many gains from internationalisation, including transcultural learning, enhanced employability and inter-cultural competencies, there are also less romantic aspects to mobility including ‘otherness’, affective considerations such as isolation, and questions about whose knowledge is circulating in the global academy?
A further output was developed at the 5X社区视频 with the assistance of Dr Catherine Pope in the form of a Training Module.
