To adapt or to transform? Exploring district-based English language teacher educators’ agency in integrating GenAI into professional practice
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools hold significant potential for transforming education. While prior studies have examined teachers’ perceptions and uses of GenAI, little is known about how district-level teacher educators (DTEs), whose work involves mentoring frontline teachers, facilitating curriculum reform, and organising district-level teacher professional development (PD) activities, integrate these tools into their professio…
Exploring collective inclusion in Chinese educational settings under neoliberal collectivism
This article reconsiders collective inclusion in Chinese schooling through neoliberal collectivism and policy enactment. Drawing on two ethnographic projects in a kindergarten and a primary school, we show that although national policy portrays the collective as harmonious, inclusion is conditioned by visible forms of utility. Teachers translate policy ideals into selective behavioral norms through classroom priorities, and children further reint…

Like Water
Ethnography is often considered as a suitable methodological approach to explore childhoods, nevertheless, there is limited reflection on ethics in the field in the Global South educational settings, such as China. Previous China-based fieldwork studies suggest complex field relationships as a major ethical challenge. Although the issue is especially prominent in research that contests "normative" Chinese childhoods, it hasn't been sufficiently d…
Friends are those who can help you out
Based on lengthy ethnographic fieldwork in Southwest China, this article unpacks how precarity and migration have deeply shaped young migrant workers’ understanding and experiences of friendship. The precarious work and living conditions compel young migrants to put more emphasis on the instrumental aspects of friendship, in which they deeply value friends’ help and practical support, which also intertwine closely with the emotional aspects of fr…
Same-gender intimate friends in Chinese girls' romantic adventures in a boarding school context
Friendship and romance are two popular topics amongst children. In children's romantic adventures, same-gender intimate friends always play a significant role. Since romance in childhood is constructed as an inappropriate topic in the Chinese schooling context, there is a limited number of studies that can offer an in-depth understanding of Chinese children's experiences of same-gender intimate friendships and romantic adventures at school. This …
