Abstract

This chapter discusses how infrastructures related to education and migration shape student mobilities in Asia. It begins with a review of extant literature on international student mobilities with its focus on the drivers and experiences of student migration, specifically underlining an emerging ‘infrastructural’ approach in understanding how student mobilities are produced in and through systems of objects and relationships that transnationally interlink people, materials and information. This is followed by a discussion of various infrastructures of student mobilities addressed in contemporary research, including social networks, commercial agents and brokers, as well as the role of schooling and knowledge infrastructures in mediating transnational student flows. The chapter ends with a reflection on the accelerated ushering of digital infrastructures into higher education, drawing upon research to reflect on its limits and opportunities for Asian student mobilities.
