Navigating the Unknown
Transnational higher education is increasing around the globe as well as in Aotearoa New Zealand. Despite this, TNHE remains largely overlooked by the New Zealand government, leaving institutions to develop their own approaches. At the same time, existing TNHE research overwhelmingly focuses on the management and administration of TNHE, at the expense of understanding the reality on the ground. For this reason, this research aims to understand th…

Through a combination of content analysis, corpus-assisted linguistic analysis and manual critical discourse analysis, this research examines how countries are constructed as part of an in-group and out-group. The findings show th…
