Parallel Societies of International Students in Australia delves into the intricate social and cultural realms that international students inhabit in their host countries. It specifically investigates the profound connections they forge and the profound impact that this parallel society has on their resilience, empowerment, and self-sufficiency. Furthermore, it explores the disconnection that international students experience from their family and friends back home, as well as from the local communities they temporarily belong to.

Drawing upon a decade of extensive research into the diverse social, cultural, real, and digital spaces occupied by international students in Australia, the book also offers insightful reflections on the most pressing challenge humanity has faced in the past century: the COVID-19 global pandemic. It examines the profound impact that the decisions made by the Australian government and international education stakeholders in response to this evolving crisis have had on international students.

This book holds immense value for academics and stakeholders engaged in international education and working closely with international students. It provides valuable insights into the experiences, challenges, and opportunities that these students encounter as they navigate their academic journeys in foreign environments. By shedding light on the parallel societies they form, the book contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities of international education and its role in shaping the global landscape.
