This study investigates the challenges, especially psychological ones, faced by international doctoral students from China studying in the United States. and explores how their social networks and support systems help them navigate their life and study during the pandemic. In light of social networks and support theory, we interviewed 20 Chinese international doctoral students studying in the U.S. and found that falling in between intimate relationships and student-institution relationships, academic departments and advisors are able to provide all types of support, namely, instrumental, informational, and emotional. Their ability to provide emotional support was heavily overlooked, especially during a global crisis. Concerted efforts must urgently be put together to deal with the mental health of international doctoral students on campus and rebuild a supportive and hospitable U.S. higher education system. This study can contribute to the scholarship of international higher education by capturing international doctoral student experiencesand perceptions in this crucial time and assessing higher education institutions’capability to support international students.  \nKeywords: social support, international doctoral students, COVID-19, institutional response and support, American higher education institutions  \nIntroduction  \nSince the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the higher education system has been hit particularly hard and Chinese international students are among a few student groups that have been greatly affected. A nationwide travel ban took effect in January 2020, in which non-U.S. citizens who have been to China in the past 14 days were not allowed to enter the country (Griffiths, 2020). The geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China have also been intensified. In May 2020, a proclamation restricting the entry of Chinese graduate students and researchers connected to China’s “Military-Civil Fusion (MCF) Strategy” was issued (Institute of International Education, 2020) . Since June 1st, 2020, more than 1,000 visas from students and researchers have been revoked (Griffiths, 2020) . Many Chinese students, especially those in STEM majors, reported that they may not be able to return home for many years due to practical concerns such as the inconvenience  \n© 2022, Current Issues in Comparative Education, Teachers College, Columbia University.

Research of doctoral students, especially those involving in-person fieldwork, is found in urgent need to be redesigned and rescheduled due to the shutdown of labs and public places. In Levine et al.’s (2020) focused group discussion, they found that doctoral students expressed their appeal for more funds, more senior-level guidance, and clearer expectations from the institutions. Also, past researchers have documented whether and how students’ physical and psychological health are challenged. More than half of the students investigated in Inci and Danielle’s (2021) survey on graduate students’wellbeing expressed feeling lonely, anxious, and fearful i","cbCaidiRkUxPce6j","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidiRkUxPce6j","pdf",272284,15,"English","# Introduction\n## Background: COVID-19 impacts on international education\n## Daily-life and study challenges for Chinese doctoral students\n## Xenophobia and anti-Asian racism effects\n## Institutional reports and research gaps","[{\"question\":\"Why does the study argue that emotional support was missed, and what should institutions do?\",\"answer\":\"Emotional support was heavily overlooked during the global crisis.
