Who is the Indian international student in Canada and how have international students been recruited, represented, mis-represented, and even rejected through policies, media, and by Canadian society? This podcast looks at the multiple ways that Indian international students experience and are made to experience student life in Canada. It is an assemblage of different talks by academics, journalists, students, and activists. Each episode provides a window into different aspects of international student life, including public policy, media & recruitment, gender, marriage and migration, and activism. This podcast is the outcome of a one-day workshop that was organized on Indian international students held at the University of Toronto in October 2024, funded by the School of Cities.
