Educational Equality and International Students

Stuart Tannock is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Education, Practice and Society at the UCL Institute of Education, UK.

“Tannock should be commended; over the length of the book his analysis throws light on the enormity and the complexity of an important and underdeveloped area of internationalization – social justice for international students. … the book should be viewed as an invitation to identify, problematise, monitor and debate issues of educational equality on a global scale. The book will appeal to a wide audience of academics, policy-makers and administrators; I expect many will take up the invitation.” (Annette Bamberger, Comparative Education, January, 2019)​
