dc.description.abstractAs globalisation deepens, student mobility through international education- migration nexus is becoming a prominent feature of today’s global edu-cation landscape. Over the last decades, international students have become more visible in most universities, especially in developed countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Europe, North America and even some parts of the Asia-Pacifi c region. Yet, beneath these visibilities of international students, very few scholarly projects have looked into the desire for overseas education as part of an imagined mobility for transnational fl ows to adequately deal with the heterogeneity and com-plexities of education-migration interactions. Drawing on an ethnographic study of seven international student-migrants undertaking Australian Teacher Education, I investigate how students’ imagination for mobility can be a more useful way of understanding the reality of their sense of connectedness and self-identity. By using the work of imagined mobility as a lens for analysis (Soong, 2016 ), the chapter illustrates how the forms and workings of transnational connectedness are being shaped, rendering the transnational student-migrant a subject of ‘being in fl ux’ between the pains and gains.
