The global health crisis initiated by the COVID‐19 pandemic (2020–2021) brought to the fore issues around bodily health and safety within the internationalisation of higher education. Rarely have these concerns been discussed in relation to international students, despite them being a central issue for students themselves and their family members ‘back home’. In this paper, we draw upon in‐depth interviews with UK‐based international postgraduate students to discuss how concepts of safety and bodily health are constructed geographically and transnationally, in conversation with family members ‘back home’ and, conversely, in their embedded and emplaced experiences as international students. The COVID‐19 pandemic provides a useful lens for considering these issues as it brought them into sharp relief as never before.

福祉与健康的跨国和本地化构建：国际学生的焦虑体现


由 COVID-19 大流行（2020-2021 年）引发的全球健康危机使高等教育国际化中的身体健康和安全问题成为突出问题。尽管这些问题对于学生本人及其“家乡”的家人来说是一个中心问题，但很少与国际学生讨论这些问题。在本文中，我们利用对英国国际研究生的深入访谈，讨论安全和身体健康的概念是如何在地理和跨国范围内，通过与“家乡”家庭成员的对话，以及相反地，在他们的根深蒂固和跨国的环境中构建的。作为国际学生的经历。 COVID-19 大流行为考虑这些问题提供了一个有用的视角，因为它使这些问题变得前所未有的尖锐。
