Re-reading this paper https://doi.org/10.1007/s10734-021-00782-9 and I'm going to have to do a thread to share my favourite quotes. And by favourite, I obviously mean the ones that fill me with rage.

So the paper is about experiences of African grad students on a US campus in relation to internationalization policies and here's a few gems from the findings: "The offers of help impose and reinforce racial formations for the students"
"Even the white administrator quoted above acknowledges, “it’s really remarkable how much they do for each other,” though he continues “but it’s really cultural how they all come together.” The racism!!
"students begin to understand a colonial noblesse oblige view of themselves from faculty, staff, peers, and administrators that obfuscate the need for services to help live a dignified life in the U.S"
