Description:
Bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives from sociology, education, and human geography to investigate the space, community, and culture at an International Branch Campus, this fascinating book provides empirical evidence to understand the implications for students' future socio-spatial mobilities.
Review Quotes:
'Jingran Yu's Mobile Educational Spaces and Imaginative Student Experiences takes us inside the emergent spatiality of Sino-foreign universities, which are key intersections of educational and governance cultures with a transformative impact much larger than their size suggests. Lively reading, seriously insightful, highly recommended.'
Simon Marginson, Professor of Higher Education, University of Oxford and Joint Editor in Chief of Higher Education.
'This is a fascinating account of a transnational higher education institution in China, based on detailed ethnographic research. It shows, in a compelling manner, how the students attending such an institution, while not physically internationally mobile, can be considered 'imaginative travellers', profoundly affected by the transnational flows that characterise their campus.'
Rachel Brooks, Professor of Higher Education, University of Oxford and the President of British Sociological Association.
