Doing research with international students: methodological considerations for participatory research designs

Abstract

This paper addresses the lack of methodological guidance in research with international students by proposing more inclusive, ethical, and participatory approaches. It emphasises the importance of designing research methods that highlight international students’ own practices, knowledge, and capabilities. By fostering relational, conversational, and engaged practices, the proposed approaches promote participatory mutuality, where researchers and participants co-construct knowledge. The aim is to develop methodological frameworks that challenge essentialist perspectives, critique inequities and power dynamics, and counter deficit views in research on international students, offering valuable insights for researchers invested in their experiences and perspectives.
