Overview
"Substantial research has emphasized the various challenges faced by international graduate students when adjusting to pursuing academic studies in the United States. This qualitative study examines the challenges and experiences of four (4) international graduate students at a U.S. liberal arts college in the northeast. The study further examines the impact of engaging two (2) international students along with myself in the process of devising a documentary theatre performance to tell the stories from these interviews. The paper presents recommendations and suggestions that indicate the importance of U.S. colleges and universities providing needed support for international graduate students' adjustment to the U.S. Recommendations are presented to practitioners and future researchers to continue to explore the use of creative approaches such as devising and documentary theatre to present research and enact change for minority groups." -- Abstract
