Time and Precarity in ‘South−South’ Academic Mobility
China's rise as an education hub introduces a new dynamic to the current framework for understanding international academic mobility. This paper presents longitudinal case studies of Pakistani PhD students and recent graduates in China, comparing their imagined mobility in 2019 with their actual trajectories by 2023. Using a time‐sensitive approach, this study unpacks the individual‐institutional temporal entanglement against the macro‐level soci…
Education mobility at the cost of widening gender gap? The silent women behind Pakistani male students’ success stories in China
This study examines the gendered consequences of "South-South" education mobility, through a four-year longitudinal study with Pakistani international students in China.China's extensive scholarship programme has significantly contributed to the transnational education mobility of lower-income Pakistani students who would otherwise not be able to study overseas.However, behind this mobility lies a staggering gender imbalance.Extant research has p…
Ageing, migration infrastructure and multi-generational care dynamics in transnational families
The analysis of transnational family relations from an intergenerational to a multi-generational perspective highlights the significant role migration infrastructure plays in transnational family care arrangements at different family life stages. Changing migration policies and local-bound welfare systems in the host and home countries tend to fixate the role of care-receiver and provider against fluid transnational family care dynamics as the li…
Effects of Perceptual Learning Styles on Chinese EFL Learners’ Writing Proficiency in the Reading-writing Integrated Continuation Task
Previous studies have manifested that the reading-writing integrated continuation task has great language learning potential and linguistic alignment facilitated by the continuation task positively affects L2 learners’ written performance. As an individual difference construct, perceptual learning style has been investigated from its impact on EFL learning, while research on how it affects learners’ performance in the continuation task seems defi…
Family-mediated migration infrastructure
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated responses such as border closure, lockdown measures and flight controls have severely disrupted transnational infrastructures that sustain, channel, organize, and condition international migration. This infrastructural disruption has led to the double exclusion of temporary migrants from both sending and host societies. In this context, we explore how Chinese international students in the Unite…
Institutional Gap and Mobility-Immobility Transition
Individuals' transnational mobility trajectories are shaped by personal life stages and intertwined with migration infrastructure. In the case of international student mobility, graduates may seek to 'stay put' in the host country for career mobility. However, this mobility-immobility transition is heavily mediated by regulatory institutions, especially in a relatively new migrant-receiving country like China. This article unpacks the process of …
Physical activity, sport and transnational migrant spaces in Shanghai, China
This study examines associations between sport/physical activity space, community formation and social life among Shanghai's highly skilled migrant demographic. There is limited illustration of the roles sport and physical exercise provision and spaces play in this migrant cohort's lives, community formation and participation in their host societies. Yet, such evidence is of value in determining social policy, urban development and community enga…
Privileged Daughters? Gendered Mobility among Highly Educated Chinese Female Migrants in the UK
The one-child generation daughters born to middle-class Chinese parents enjoy the privilege of concentrated family resources and the opportunity for education overseas. We focus on the “privileged daughters” who have studied abroad and remained overseas as professionals. Using three cases of post-student female migrants who were of different ages and at different life stages, we situate their socioeconomic mobility in the context of intergenerati…
Remain, Return, or Re‐migrate? The (Im)mobility Trajectory of Mainland Chinese Students after Completing Their Education in the UK
The migration of Chinese students to the UK has long been the focus of academic and policy‐making attention. However, what happens to their transnational mobility after their education remains understudied. This article unpacks the migration decision‐making process behind graduates' study‐to‐employment transition. We focus on individuals' on‐going reinterpretation of capital convertibility between China and the UK and examine how the meaning of m…
Education, Migration and Family Relations between China and the UK
This book provides a fresh perspective on the understanding of transnational families by examining the one-child generation of Chinese migrants who came to the UK to study, and their parents, who remain in China
The transnational one-child generation
Education-motivated migration from East Asia is regarded as a family capital accumulation project where middle class families reproduce their socioeconomic advantage at a transnational level. This study focuses on one-child generation migrants from mainland China who came to study in the UK as teenagers or young adults but remained to work as professionals after their education. Caught between the British social/employment system and the Chinese …
Chinese one-child families in the age of migration
One-child transnational families are the product of the “one-child” policy, access to foreign travel, and the rise of a middle class that could afford overseas education for the only child. One result was the possibility of the only child, following its Western-based education, settling (semi)permanently in the host country. This situation raises the issue of how the only child balances the opportunities in the West with the filial responsibiliti…
