Drawing on a longitudinal ethnographic engagement with African migrant students at a Chinese university, I reveal h…
Performing ‘alterity’
Emotional journeys
This article examines the emotional aspects of international student mobility (ISM) from African countries to a higher education institution in China. While there is increasing scholarly attention to the role of emotional experiences in ISM, most of this work has focused on Western destinations with a long history of education mobilities. Information on newly emerged, non-Western ISM destinations is comparatively limited. Drawing on ethnographic …

Learn…
