  • Labelling, resistance and academic disengagement in China’ secondary vocational schools

    Open Access•Ailei Xie, Jingran Yu et al.•ARTICLE•British Journal of Sociology of…•2026

    Academic disengagement in China’s secondary vocational schools is often attributed to selection effects or student deficit. Drawing on labelling theory and self-fulfilling prophecy research, this article shows how macro-level stigma is translated into a school-based labelling regime that shapes learning orientations and self-understandings. Based on ten weeks of ethnographic fieldwork in a technical college in Guangzhou, China, including classroo…

Based on 54 interviews with Chinese students from 1…

    Jingran Yu•ARTICLE•Social & Cultural Geography•2023•Cited by: 7•References: 40

    This paper problematizes the neglect of spatiality and materiality of international branch campuses in extant studies and challenges the predominant representation of transnational education students merely in terms of their corporeal immobility. Based on a case study of a UK international branch campus in China, this paper incorporates interview narratives and ethnographic observations to reveal the students' experiences and imaginations, and to…

  • Consuming UK Transnational Higher Education in China: A Bourdieusian Approach to Chinese Students' Perceptions and Experiences

    Open Access•Jingran Yu•ARTICLE•Sociological Research Online•2021•Cited by: 6•References: 22

However, few insights have been generated within a transnational education context. This article is based on a case study of a UK transnational higher education institution in China, where market-based rationalities converge with a centralised stat…
