If you're pursuing a higher degree in international education, whether at Master's or doctorate level, there may be several resources available to you in College that could potentially be of use. Whilst your primary first stop will inevitably be digital library resources from your university, the following may be of interest.
Books in the library about research methods are pinned to our Research Methods pinterest board.
The Journal of Research in International Education (JRIE) specifically highlights research in the field of international education, and may be useful for dissertations.
The current issue print copy is available in the Library, whilst the current issue and all previous issues are available digitally. Please go to the "Reference Sites" tab of the College Portal (and go to the bottom of the page) for the link to JRIE.
For off-campus access, you will need the log-in details. These are given on the "Reference Sites" page and are limited to members of the UWCSEA community.
There is a Google+ group on campus, comprised of teachers undertaking research for higher degrees. There are occasional face-to-face meetings, too.
