The empirical study that forms the core of this book is a qualitative research project, funded by the UK based Society for Research into Higher Education (SRHE Research Award reference 1552), that investigated how higher education leaders, staff and students working at the national level and within a diverse range of universities around the UK conceptualise and promote educational equality and justice for international as well as home students. Over the course of eighteen months from 2015 to 2017, I collected institutional documents and statistics, and conducted semi-structured interviews with a total of fifty nine individuals, who represented seven different national higher education organisations and twenty two universities, including both elite and non-elite (selecting and recruiting) universities in a range of geographical settings throughout England 

本书的核心内容是一个定性研究项目，由英国高等教育研究协会（SRHE研究奖参考文献1552）资助，研究高等教育领导者如何，在国家一级工作的教职员工和学生在英国各地的不同大学范围内，为国际学生和本国学生构想和促进教育平等和公正。在2015年至2017年的18个月时间里，我收集了机构文件和统计数据，并对总共59名个人进行了半结构化采访，这些人代表了7个不同的国家高等教育机构和22所大学，包括精英和非精英（选拔和招聘）分布在英格兰和威尔士各地的大学。
