We are looking forward to giving three papers from our project at the 2018 annual conference of the Society for Research into Higher Education, to be held in Newport, Wales, from 4-7 December. Anu and Jessie will be giving a paper on ‘Students: Being and Becoming Students of Higher Education’ (9am session on 7 December), while Rachel will be talking about ‘The Construction of Higher Education Students within National Policy’ (on 6 December at 11.30am). In addition, Rachel will be giving the keynote address at the Newer Researchers’ Conference on 4 December, entitled ‘Higher Education Mobilities: a cross-national European comparison’. Do come along and join us for one or more of our sessions!
