Reviewing Access in Internationalized Higher Education: a Scalar Investigation of the Chinese and Turkish Higher Education System (96728)
Session: On Demand
Room: Virtual Video Presentation
Presentation Type: Virtual Presentation
International education has emerged as a crucial component of higher education and its evolution. Evident from higher education systems around the world where ‘world class’ is sought, internationalization and international scholarships operate within a complex web of political, economic, and social policies. As education systems progress, distinct hierarchies and dynamics begin to manifest. The context of access, as an interaction dynamic suggested by Ribot and Peluso (2009), comes into question when we attempt to critically define the ‘who~s’ and ‘what~s’ in education. While contemporary literature on education access highlights institutions as the structure that international students seek access to, research is beginning to surface on how institutions themselves are agential in the increasingly complex education superstructure. Adopting a scalar investigation into six participating universities (two from China and four from Türkiye), the research deconstructs education into three levels: students, institutions, and higher education, to explore the dynamics and interactions of four key aspects: Environment, Economics, Academic, and Interaction. Utilizing a hybrid research method, findings reveal dynamics of how aspects trade-off between each other where access is successful or when it is not. Findings of institutions and students further relegated in the broader understanding of education suggest a need to reevaluate our understanding of internationalized education and student access. The research presents a novel approach to understanding higher education and its development towards internationalization from a Southern perspective.
