Gendered patterns of knowledge production: Examining female academics’ research in higher education research in Japan
Adopting the lens of epistemic injustice, this study examines the structural positioning of female scholars’ knowledge production in higher education research in Japan. Using bibliometrics combined with a manual thematic analysis of 1,419 domestic and international journal articles, we map gendered patterns in publication visibility, co-authorship network positioning, and thematic centrality, with overall and male-authored patterns as reference p…
Reconceptualizing Internationalization: Co‐Authorship Among Locals, Returnees and Internationals in Research‐Intensive Universities in China
The contribution of internationality in pursuing research is well‐known. Whilst the policy agenda in many Asian countries includes attracting academic staff (Internationals and Returnees—conceptualized here under Simmel's ‘stranger’ concept), little is known in relation to how often they work with colleagues at their institutions and, consequently, how much such collaboration yields benefits when it comes to publishing. We investigate, via observ…
Bridging Education and Geoeconomics: A Study of Student Mobility in Higher Education Under South Korea’s New Southern Policy
This study aims to explore how the macro-geopolitical economic cooperation policy is connected with student mobility in higher education at the micro level. Since the internationalization of higher education and student mobility, which mainly occurred in universities at the institutional level, the relationship between macro governmental goals and economic strategies tends to be less emphasized. Also, the factors influencing student mobility focu…

In East Asia, intensified knowledge-based competition has elevated the role of higher education in socio-economic development, prompting governments to strengthen the third pillar of university mission for innovation, sustainable development, and national competitiveness. This governmental emphasis encourages academics to expand their outreach activities toward a broader and diverse societal engagement. Meanwhile, the heightened performance-based…

The 'sandwich generation' in Korean academe: Between Traditional Academic Authority and Meritocratic Culture
This study investigates how academics hired during the period of rapid neoliberal reforms differ from the senior academics hired before the reforms and the junior academics hired after the reforms were institutionalized. The faculty members who were employed in a period of radical reform may be impacted by the additional requirements and tasks caused by the reforms while they are also expected to do more traditional duties. They could be regarded…
Research collaboration across higher education systems: Maturity, Language Use, and Regional Differences
