Copying this message via Stuart Hughes from the IDP Database

The IDP Database of Research on International Education has been updated with 174 new records. This is a double update timed to coincide with the Australian International Education Conference (http://www.aiec.idp.com/) which is on from Tuesday to Friday. The latest entries can be browsed from the New Additions page at:

http://www.idp.com/research/database+AF8-of+AF8-research/new+AF8-additions.aspx

As always, keep an eye on http://twitter.com/idpdrie for international education publications as they are identified - especially next week, when we hope to bring you news of publications released during the conference, link to some of the presentations, plus pass on any news we pick up from delegates about what they have in the publications pipeline. The hashtag for the conference is +ACM-aiec10 and you can also get news from http://twitter.com/aiec. We'd love to hear about any international education research news you have at ndrie+AEA-acer.edu.au. If you are attending AIEC, stop by and have a chat with Database staff at the IDP booth.

Home This year will mark the 24th anniversary of the AIEC which has grown into the largest international education conference in the Asia Pacific region and one of the pre-eminent international education conferences in the world.

Look for us at the IDP stand. Naturally we'll be hoping to highlight any newly released international education publications around the time of the conference - in the Database, via the twitter feed and maybe some hardcopies at the stand. If you have a report, an article, an issue of the journal you edit, or a thesis releasing between now and November, we'd love to hear from you - [email protected]

Anyone want to share thoughts on the NAFSA conference?

Joe Mestenhauser accepts TLS Award, calls for a "cognitive revolution" dealing with international education's complexity, major trends, and interdisciplinarity. Says "ask not how do I feel" about the world, ask what do I know, how do I know, why do I know about the world.

Have arrived at NAFSA. Looking forward to the TLS Networking Reception tonight (5 - 7 pm in the Westin) and the Research Award ceremony tomorrow (1:15 - 2:15 in the Convention Center).
