Bringing the future into the present: thinking through imagined future trajectories.This book examines the identity formation and negotiation of Chinese doctoral students in the UK, and the opportunity for self-transformation this experience offers. As the largest group of international students in the English-speaking world, Mainland Chinese students encounter a range of difficulties and prospects that may be relevant to the wider international student community. Using extensive qualitative and empirical data, the author explores the narratives of eleven Chinese doctoral students at two British universities through a sociological perspective. Balancing analysis with solid theoretical framework and the voices of the students themselves, the author moves away from essentialism and ‘othering’, instead shining a light on the effects of globalisation, internationalisation and recent policy strategies. This volume will be of interest and value to students and scholars of comparative and international education, identity formation, intercultural communication, the sociology of education and study abroad.Palgrave Studies on Chinese Education in a Global PerspectiveInternational education Comparative educationStudy skillsForeign studyEducational sociologyEducational sociology Education and sociologyInternational and Comparative Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O13000Studying abroadhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O53100Sociology of Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O29000Sociology of Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22070International education .Comparative education.Study skills.Foreign study.Educational sociology.Educational sociology .Education and sociology.International and Comparative Education.Studying abroad.Sociology of Education.Sociology of Education.370.116370.9Ye Lily Leiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061886BOOK9910299530803321Intercultural Experience and Identity2520927UNINA
