In this brief editorial essay, the author points out a lack of focus on graduate-level international students in research and scholarship in the United States. Highlighting a few potential contributing factors behind the gap, he suggests a number of important issues and perspectives that the scholarship needs to explore as it advances the discourse on the graduate segment of international students. He concludes by calling for a transdisciplinary field of scholarship focusing on international students in general, with a viable subspecialization on the graduate students.
