“The changing map of international student mobility” as an experiment in collective and co[labor]ative writing

Abstract

This short paper explores the collective writing experiment that materialized into the paper, “The Changing Map of International Student Mobility” (Peters, Hollings et al., 2021). It explains how 15 students of Professor Michael A. Peters, each writing 500-word essays, were able to create a unique and diverse dialogue on international student mobility. By being reliant on numerous perspectives, this dialogue offered a more holistic outlook on recent disruptions to international education and international students. Thus, the dialogue offered a collective approach to knowledge production within a knowledge socialist pedagogy.
