Deferred epistemologies
This article contributes to Southern Theory by interrogating the cyclical dynamics of knowledge production in China’s basic foreign language education. It argues that reforms in this domain have long been shaped by a recurring pattern of theory importation and reactive problem-solving, whereby imported frameworks are used to address perceived deficiencies in previous reforms without disrupting the deeper epistemic structures that shape them. Thro…

We analysed dynamic interactions betwee…
Family Foreign Language Planning and Child Flourishing
While family foreign language planning (FFLP) is increasingly common in contexts like China, its socioemotional consequences for children remain underexplored. Drawing on interviews and written protocols from six Chinese families, this study investigates how children's learning emotions mediate the relationship between FFLP and socioemotional development. Thematic analysis reveals three distinct pathways: (1) directive FFLP mediated by anticipato…
Development of a Brief Computerized Adaptive Testing Version of the SCL-90
The Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) is widely used in Chinese adolescents, but its practical utility is limited by its length and by structural problems in the traditional ten-factor model. To address these issues, this study developed and validated a brief computerized adaptive testing (CAT) system based on a theoretically informed six-factor model. Using a clinical sample of 10,052 adolescent outpatients, confirmatory factor analysis showed the t…

Inefficient waste disposal and heavy reliance on non-renewable energy sources are two of the key…
The Contested Terrain of Skills
The deskilling thesis has long anchored debates in labor process theory (LPT), yet its deterministic framing has faced sustained critique. This paper revisits these debates by theorizing skills as a contested terrain of capitalist development. First, it traces the intellectual trajectory from Marx's analysis of the division of labor to Braverman's account of Taylorism, and to subsequent critiques that have emphasized worker consent, institutional…
