“…Universities have also suffered from inability to respect diversity. For example, in April 2019, a wooden box with stones was placed in the hallway of a university building in Lisbon, with the following instruction: 'Free rocks if you are going to throw them at a 'zuca' (racist term form Brazilian, derived from 'brazuca') who passed his Master's degree' (Mendes, 2019), and in December 2019, a Cape Verdean student was murdered after a fight in a bar in the northern city of Bragança (Oliveira et al 2019). Colonial legacies continue to support the production and maintenance of hegemonic ideas about race and racism in Portuguese social dynamics, especially regarding Brazilian and black African immigrants (Araújo, 2013).…”

This article looks at the mis-match between official discursive representations aimed at promoting Lisbon, the Portuguese capital city, as an international student hub and international students' experiences. At a theoretical level, our work builds on the idea that re-branding a city's image in terms of creativity, innovation and new technologies with a view to attract international students can foster less positive urban changes linked to gentrification, pushing overseas students away rather than attracting greater numbers. Discussion includes consideration of the success of policies at municipal level that have aimed to use international students as a means to re-brand the city as a centre for creativity and innovation; part of the wider strategy of putting Lisbon on the map as a global learning destination. Analysis includes assessment of publicity materials advertising the city's appeal to international students, juxtaposed with findings from interviews conducted with incoming students at the city's universities during 2020. This material illustrates some of the most prominent contradictions, and arguably, a number of shortcomings, in the city's imagological strategy, particularly in regard to concerns with Lisbon's housing market.
