Overview

Narrative inquiry reveals transnational consciousness and institutional barriers shaping Asian international students' racial activism, highlighting the need to recognize their political agency.

Key Points

  • Examine how transnational and institutional dynamics shape Asian international students' participation and perspectives in U.S. racial justice activism.
  • Conducted a qualitative narrative inquiry framed by International Student Critical Race Theory (IntlCrit).
  • Analyzed five illustrative Asian international student cases through individual narrative profiles and cross-case thematic analysis.
  • Participants developed transnational racial consciousness by connecting host-country racial injustices to systemic inequalities in their home countries.
  • Engagement was shaped by unfamiliar protest practices, peer relationships, emotional fatigue, and significant immigration-related risks.
  • Institutional equity initiatives frequently marginalized international students, which reduced their trust in universities despite their demonstrated political agency.
