Broken Desire: Chinese Students’ Abandonment of Overseas Study Amidst the Changing Global Landscape and Geopolitical Tensions
As the broad field of international education experienced unforeseeable changes with the rising of geopolitical tensions amplified by the pandemic, the long‐standing interest in studying abroad among Chinese students at top research universities has experienced a misalignment with the changing landscape and the new normality created by the global crisis. Drawing upon the intricate experiences and perceptions of 31 students from Chinese top resear…
After Admission: The Emotional Suffering of Students Enrolled Through the Rural Students Quota Plan in China's Elite Universities
The Chinese government has implemented a series of special admission policies in recent years to promote higher education equity. One of the key approaches is the ‘Rural Students Quota Plan’, which requires elite universities to enrol a certain number of rural students from disadvantaged social and economic backgrounds each year. This study adopted qualitative methods to explore the experiences of these students, focusing on their emotional journ…
Rural students’ evolving educational aspirations and the sense of ‘fit’ in the changing context of China’s higher education: A life history approach
False Anticipation and Misfits in a Cross-Cultural Setting: International Scholars Working in Chinese Universities
As the rapid development of internationalization in Chinese higher education, the number and scale of international scholars working in China has significantly increased. However, few studies have focused on international scholars’ cross-cultural encounters in the Chinese academic context. Based on 21 in-depth interviews, this article investigates international scholars’ subjective experiences in a cross-cultural setting through Bourdieu’s concep…
Grade as a student’s lifeblood? Exploring Chinese rural students’ evolving constructions of the ‘ideal student’ through higher education
Since the expansion of higher education, many rural students in China managed to enter urban universities. However, migrating across layers of structural constraints, those rural students faced dramatic transitions and challenges in the urban university. Drawing upon 50 rural students’ narratives about their educational trajectories, I find that participants in this research moved from the rural context, which almost exclusively emphasized academ…
Clothing and identity: Chinese rural students' embodied transformations in the urban university
In the context of enduring urban-rural inequality in China, attention has been drawn to rural students' encounters in the urban university. In this research, I elicit rural students' narratives about their (classed) perceptions of clothing and style, as well as the bodily practices embedded in their subjective social mobility experiences in the unique social milieu of China's context. I argue that participants' transforming practices entail a nex…
Hysteresis Effects and Emotional Suffering: Chinese Rural Students' First Encounters With the Urban University
In the Chinese context of a stratified higher education system and significant urban-rural inequality, rural students are generally facing constrained possibilities for social mobility through higher education. Despite these structural constraints, some exceptional rural students, like all the participants in this research, manage to get themselves enrolled in the urban university. Drawing on participants' subjective narratives about their first …
