Sustainability or Sustainable Development? Universities’ Adoption of Environmental Discourses
From regional alliances to global aspirations
Examines higher education regionalization in East and Southeast Asia. • Analyzes rationales behind university memberships in regional university associations. • Argues that memberships in regional university associations are linked to universities’ pursuit of cognitive legitimacy. • Demonstrates that universities pursue cognitive legitimacy through substantive engagement in internationalization and symbolic alignment with a globally legitimized u…
Artificial Intelligence in Music Education in Higher Education
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into instrumental music education has rapidly progressed. However, the scholarly landscape remains fragmented and underdeveloped. Current research mainly focuses on algorithm‐driven performance and context‐specific teaching methods. There has been little effort to connect these advancements to established educational frameworks or to examine their wider implications. This systematic review addresses…
Sustainability rankings in higher education
As universities strive to become more sustainable and support sustainable development broadly, sustainability assessments and rankings have proliferated and become influential in higher education worldwide. A growing number of universities in lower- and middle-income countries are participating, often with fewer economic and human resources than their counterparts in the Global North. We conceptualize these sustainability assessments and rankings…
Earnest Hypocrisy
This essay examines William Makepeace Thackeray’s Vanity Fair (1847–48) through the lens of nineteenth-century Anglican Evangelicalism, arguing that Thackeray’s portrayal of Pitt Crawley (Junior) crystallizes the paradoxes of Evangelical reform culture in early Victorian Britain. Building on the critical foundations laid by Elisabeth Jay, Mark Knight, and Catherine Hall, the study situates Pitt within the historical context of Evangelical social …
Parental Supervision for Child Development and the Value of Visual Art Activities
In the Chinese educational landscape, extracurricular engagement in disciplines like visual arts has received relatively limited scholarly attention compared to Western settings, where such activities are well established for cultivating diverse cognitive and socioemotional competencies. Unlike Western models, where arts education is often integrated into school curricula, China's visual art programs predominantly operate through expensive privat…
Higher education regionalization in East and Southeast Asia
Exploring John Searle’s Analysis of Intentional Satisfaction
This paper delves into the concept of intentionality, which is deeply ingrained in the representation of consciousness, and its significance in comprehending human behavior and societal dynamics. Specifically, it examines John Searle’s analysis of intentional satisfaction and contrasts it with the theory of Intentionality put forth by Husserl. Searle’s perspective, particularly his exploration of conditions of satisfaction and intentional conscio…
Sustainability as an emerging mandate in higher education
The impact of Covid‐19 on international student enrolments in North America
Both Canada and the United States enrol a significant number of international students. However, in March 2020, both countries closed their borders and increased restrictions to international travel due to COVID‐19, which had a direct impact on international students' ability to travel between their home countries and study destinations. This article examines the impact of COVID‐19 on international student enrolments by asking two related questio…
The quantity-quality tradeoff
This article analyzes cross-national trends in national student-faculty ratios (SFRs) over the past five decades. In descriptive analyses, we find that SFRs have increased globally, driven by particularly large increases in low-income countries. We analyze two cross-national datasets to examine factors associated with national SFRs. We find that national SFRs are positively associated with gross tertiary enrollment rates and particularly so in lo…
