Pursuing social justice through education policy programmes: Capturing subtleties with a modified welfare regime analysis
Hong Kong's non‐local undergraduate recruitment: Policies, institutional practices and student perspectives
Beneath the Hong Kong government's enthusiasm for recruiting non‐local undergraduates—including students from the Chinese Mainland and other international regions—lies a longstanding gap in understanding the core meanings and drivers shaping the territory's expanding focus on inward international student mobility (ISM). This study extends Bourdieu's capital framework beyond its traditional individual‐centred application to explore how the dynamic…
Policy innovation and future imaginaries of higher education internationalisation: New ideas for the grand strategy of China’s Greater Bay Area
Future imaginaries shape the policy innovations that guide universities in their approaches to internationalisation. China’s Greater Bay Area (GBA) represents a transformative grand strategy aimed at fostering a regional innovation system through knowledge creation, cross-boundary collaboration, and the cultivation of high-quality talent via inward-oriented higher education (HE) internationalisation. This paper examines how innovative universitie…
Assessment as a dilemmatic space in the GenAI age: Mapping and unpacking university teachers’ conflicting priorities in assessment
This study uses the concept of dilemmatic space to unpack the complexities of teachers’ work when it comes to assessing students in the GenAI age. A key idea of dilemmatic space is that dilemmas are not ‘out there’ but constructions based on individuals’ priorities, knowledge and values. Therefore, studying what teachers perceive as ‘dilemmatic’ or ‘in conflict’ is important for understanding how they position themselves as teachers and what they…
Student Voices About Educational Inequalities and Justice: Problematizing a Neoliberal Education System
Rising educational inequality is considered as one pressing social problem in many national education systems. There is limited existing literature that examines how youth from different social backgrounds perceive and consider social inequalities and “justice.” This study addresses this research gap by probing the perspectives of different young peoplewho have experienced the competitive Hong Kong education system through qualitative interviews.…

Handling national controversy on the education frontline: Perceptions of Hong Kong teachers on the pedagogies for National Education
During the turbulent 2018–19 school year, we researched Hong Kong teachers’ perceptions regarding the design and implementation of National Education in schools for students aged 12–17. We seek to make a contribution to understandings of aspects of the cultural, political and social dimensions and contexts relevant to teacher education. 41 civic and/or national education teachers were interviewed about their educational aims, content, teaching me…
Navigating managerial and entrepreneurial reforms in research‐intensive universities: A comparison of early career trajectories in Hong Kong and Canada
Making sense of ‘graduate employability’ in Hong Kong: A contextualized analysis of experience and interpretations of graduates of self-financing higher education institutions
Declining employment prospects of graduates have been reported in the international literature and in Hong Kong. This casts doubts on the ‘employability’ of graduates of an expanding higher education sector. Yet, published patterns and trends of graduate employment outcomes do not tell us much about the contextualised processes that ‘match’ or ‘mismatch’ graduates’ qualifications with ‘appropriate’ graduate jobs. This paper addresses this researc…

Composed through a process of critical and reflective dialogue with Hayes Tang, the essay describes the tension between Chung-Hin’s Chinese ethnic and cultural identity and the democratic values held by Hong Kongers.

Mayssoun Sukarieh and Stuart Tannock: Youth Rising? The Politics of Youth in the Global Economy
Dancing with global trends: Higher education policy and university governance in Hong Kong, 1997–2012
This article examines the significance of global trends in higher education (HE) development in Hong Kong between 1997 and 2012. Two trends, massification and internationalisation, are considered key driving forces that shaped Hong Kong’s HE policy during the period. The former refers to government measures to widen participation in HE. The latter is associated with Hong Kong’s regional education hub strategy. Universities in the city revised the…
