Abstract

This chapter discusses the contemporary empirical evidence on racialization, discrimination, and microaggression experiences of international students on U.S. campuses. Specifically, this chapter illustrates the most prominent challenges in international students' experiences with becoming a marginalized minority in their host setting, encountering racism and discrimination from the members of the host community, and being subject to a wide range of microaggressions. As demonstrated, international students are in many aspects marginalized in higher education due to their complex and intersected identities which often remain neglected, misunderstood, or even denied. Acknowledging and understanding these narratives carries important implications for higher education practice and recommendations for future scholarly contributions.
