About this listen

In the ninth episode of Speaking of Research, a podcast from the South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership, we meet Isaac Thornton, a doctoral researcher from the University of Brighton. Isaac is researching the experiences of international students in the UK - a group 600,000 strong, whose presence brings vital financial and societal value.


Combining insights from social policy and psychology, Isaac explores how visa restrictions, housing challenges, and soaring tuition fees contribute to social exclusion. His research also reframes resilience not as an individual trait, but as a socially embedded process - one shaped by access to supportive communities and institutional resources.
