Monday again! This week I am concluding my literature review rewrite. I have a lot of loose ends to tie up, so it will be a busy week. More importantly, I will have to find the book “Student mobility and narrative in Europe: the new strangers” by Elizabeth Murphy-Lejeune. Well, that is I have found it already, now I will have to find a way to read it!
First of all, lets look at what this book is:
- A new key text in my narrow research field of student migration.
- Key as in cited in 92 places!
- Introducing the concept of student mobility that I think would be extremely useful for my theoretical frame.
- a European case study, which in part could be very interesting to duplicate in Ghana.
Now, remember how I bought a Kindle, predominantly for these situations? Needing a book in far-away Ghana (far away from Internetshopping that is). Well, I never knew an e-book could cost USD 148! Really, Amazon and Routledge, really? It is almost painful when it is a book I would so love to read!
The Google books version only covers the introduction and not the much anticipated “Chapter 3: Student Mobility: a taste for living abroad.”
All help, or plain sympathy, is much appreciated!
This is a Migration Monday post with the double aim of sharing with you what my research is all about and for me to integrate my academic stuff with my blogging!
Sharing is caring!

It’s at Berkeley… I can easily scan the intro + ch. 3 for you!
