Enxi Jin is a first-year doctoral student in Education at the University of Oxford. Before beginning her doctoral studies, she completed a master’s degree in Global Education Comparison at Shanghai International Studies University.
Her doctoral research traces the history of the University of Nairobi from its colonial origins to the present, exploring how its past is narrated, contested, and reinterpreted within Kenya’s changing higher education landscape.
Her research interests lie at the intersection of colonialism, higher education, and knowledge production, with a focus on how historical legacies and global inequalities shape whose knowledge is recognised and valued. She is also interested in the development of education in China and South Korea, particularly in comparative and international perspectives on higher education.
