How do international students cope when crises strike at home and abroad simultaneously? Using vivid firsthand accounts from Ukrainian students studying in Kraków during COVID-19 and Russiaâs full-scale war on Ukraine, this book investigates the interplay between institutional responses, social support, and individual adaptation strategies. Jan Bazyli Klakla provides fresh qualitative insights into the understudied experiences of student migrants during crisis situations, highlighting practical recommendations for higher education institutions. Essential for scholars, university administrators, and policymakers interested in understanding and supporting international students through challenging times.
Jan Bazyli Klakla holds doctorates in law and sociology from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. He is currently a Director of Migration, Social Policy, and Development Cooperation at CASE â Center for Social and Economic Research in Warsaw.
