Why We Did The Global Student Voices Podcast

Post-secondary educators, both in Canada and around the world, are often quick to bisect student populations into “domestic” and “international” segments. While that may be a convenient metric to use in a variety of situations, the result often causes minds to think in very homogenous terms with respect to the thousands of students we host from around the world on our campuses. Global Student Voices was made in reaction to that – we hear from actual international students about their experiences both in and out of the classroom. Through this process, we hear many familiar refrains, about teaching, learning, technology, family, finances and a litany of others. It’s our hope that this series will bring pause to those that are quick to divide our students into a separate “bucket”, and to realize that a student is a student, regardless of the passport they are carrying in their knapsack.

What's Next?

We look forward to sharing our second podcast series in early fall 2019, featuring more first-person accounts from international students on their journey at Humber. Our next series will include students from Humber as well as our partner institutions. Stay tuned!
