An International College in South Korea as a Third Space Between Korea and US Models of Higher Education available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Under the slogan of internationalization, Korean universities have opened international colleges that promise an educational experience on par with elite universities anywhere in the world. These colleges conduct their classes in English and hire Western faculty members as a way to create campus settings that better attract and accommodate foreign students. What is the meaning of "international" in this context? Based on 12 months of fieldwork, my dissertation offers an ethnographic study of an international college in South Korea to uncover underlying assumptions and meanings in the internationalization of higher education. By using an international college as a point of entry, I argue that internationalization reforms equate to the adoption of Anglo-Saxon academic paradigms by which Korean universities have been modeled after in the internationalization of higher education more broadly. With international colleges in particular, the kinds of research activities that count as international are not just being adopted, but the knowledge workers themselves--"imported" faculty members from the United States and Western Europe--are brought into a Korean university setting as a way to attract as many foreign students as possible. However, the majority of students who enroll at an international college are not foreign but Korean, and thus, what these international colleges have turned into are actually domestic alternatives for Korean students who would otherwise study abroad. What is created when Anglo-Saxon academic paradigms confront a primarily Korean student body is a Third Space of hybrid pedagogical practices, languages, and social interactions that I explore and analyze. At the same time, meanings of international take on racialized and paradoxical undertones whereby Western faculty members are strategically appropriated as a commodity for an international college while the Korean students who attend struggle to integrate within the larger Korean university because their affiliation with an international college positions them as outsiders. The tensions and contradictions that a Korean university faces in its internationalization agenda speak to a broader conception of how South Korea sees its place within a multicultural landscape.

Download and read online ebook Internationalization of Higher Education write by Marianne A. Larsen. This book was released on 2016-09-23. Internationalization of Higher Education available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book provides a cutting-edge analysis of the ways in which higher education institutions have become more international over the past two decades. Drawing upon a range of post-foundational spatial, network, and mobilities theories, the book shifts our thinking away from linear, binary, Western accounts of internationalization to understand the complex, multi-centered and contradictory ways in which internationalization processes have played out across a wide variety of higher education landscapes worldwide. The author explores transnational student, scholar, knowledge, program and provider mobilities; the production of mobile bodies, knowledges, and identities; the significance of place in internationalization; and the crucial role that global university rankings play in reshaping the spatial landscape of higher education.

This book was released on 2020-12-10. The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Internationalization of Higher Education in the Global South available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This Handbook covers a wide range of historical perspectives, realities, research and practice of internationalization of higher education (IHE) in the global south and makes comparisons to IHE issues in the global north. Drawing on the expertise of 32 academics and policy makers based in and originating from four key regions of focus: Sub-Saharan Africa; North Africa and the Middle East; Asia Pacific; Latin America and the Caribbean. Across 24 chapters the editors and contributors provide a diverse and unparalleled expose of the status and future aspirations of institutions and nations in relation to IHE. This is the first comprehensive analysis of this growing field and expands the scope of research in the field of comparative and international education in terms of theory and policy development.

How universities in the US and South Korea compete for global student markets—and how university financials shape students’ lives. The popular image of the international student in the American imagination is one of affluence, access, and privilege, but is that image accurate? In this provocative book, higher education scholar Stephanie Kim challenges this view, arguing that universities—not the students—allow students their international mobility. Focusing on universities in the US and South Korea that aggressively grew their student pools in the aftermath of the Great Recession, Kim shows the lengths universities will go to expand enrollments as they draw from the same pool of top South Korean students. Kim closely follows several students attending a university in Berkeley and a university in Seoul. They have chosen different paths to study abroad or learn at home, but all are seeking a transformative educational experience. To show how student mobility depends on institutional structures, Kim demonstrates how the universities themselves compel students’ choices to pursue higher learning at one institution or another. She also profiles the people who help ensure the global student supply chain runs smoothly, from education agents in South Korea to community college recruiters in California. Using ethnographic research gathered over a ten-year period in which international admissions were impacted by the Great Recession, changes in US presidential administrations, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Constructing Student Mobility provides crucial insights into the purpose, effects, and future of student recruitment across the Pacific.

Download and read online ebook "Going Global" at Home write by Jenny Jong-Hwa Lee. This book was released on 2021. "Going Global" at Home available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In 2014, South Korea launched Incheon Global Campus (IGC), a shared campus where multiple international branch campuses operate together as a consortium of colleges. English is the medium of instruction at IGC, and each member university has autonomous control over the curriculum, staffing, faculty, and admissions of their individual branch campus. The aim of IGC is to provide Korean students with an affordable alternative to traditional study abroad sojourns by allowing students to essentially study abroad in situ. This goal is particularly notable given how South Korea has long served as a primary source country for international students studying abroad in other countries. The South Korean students who attend IGC are uniquely involved in a grand social experiment which complicates our understanding of international education. What does it mean when higher education institutions cross borders, circumventing the need for students to do so? Unfortunately, there has been a lack of attention to this phenomenon, not only in terms of empirical studies, but also in terms of critical theorizing regarding this novel type of international/transnational education and its impact on the student experience. IGC students are clearly different from the rest of the native student population since they are not attending a South Korean university, yet they are not quite "international" either since they do not travel overseas and instead remain immersed in their home environments. In short, they occupy a third space that is simultaneously international and domestic since they are essentially "going global at home". This study explores the nature of student experiences in this liminal space, and the extent to which this transnational context symbolizes education's potential to be a either a tool for social reproduction or social mobility. In these unique transnational spaces, students mobilize capital, especially linguistic capital, in ways that highlight a global dimension to Bourdieu's theory of social fields and social reproduction.
