ABSTRACT

This short concluding chapter synthesizes the arguments in the chapters in this volume regarding the border politics and global education effects, not only on institutional settings and student interactions and perceptions they shape but also on educators' classroom practices and their effects on students. The ambiguous border politics regarding study abroad students, foreign workers, and immigrants are also highlighted. This chapter also suggests three future directions in research—self-investigations of researchers regarding our own scale-making and border-making practices through our work, examination of practices and effects of regimes of mobility that treat various mobilities differently, and critical revision of the researcher gaze based on static borders of nations and replacing it with the understanding of human relations in terms of multi-scalar networks.
