Transnational Academic Mobility to Global South: An Exploratory Study of International Faculty in China
Theme: Higher Education
This project investigates the mobility of international academics to China and their engagement with Chinese higher education.
This project examines the international academic mobility to China, with a focus on academics working with long-term or permanent contract at Chinese universities.
The project draws on survey and interview data, involving international academics at a wide range of Chinese universities and from various disciplines. It aims to contribute to the studies on internationalisation and global academic mobility, and further the theoretical (re)framing of the counter-flow of international faculty to non-Euro-American systems. The study also aims to inform and impact academics’ practices and institutional/national policymaking about internationalisation and international staffing.
The project is led by Dr Xin Xu and Dr Giulio Marini (University College London).
