Background

I'm currently a full-time PhD Student. My doctoral research investigates students' identity (re)formation in the context of cross-border higher education in China. I'm particularly interested in students' lived experiences, identity formation, self-development, and decision-making processes within diverse operational forms of cross-border provision — known in China as Sino-foreign Cooperation in Running Schools (中外合作办学).
