Abstract

Research published in specific contexts and in languages that are not widely read can contain diverse knowledges, often absent in international research published in English. As such PhD dissertations, especially when defended in a language other than English, represent important knowledge ‘in the making’ but they tend to be excluded from published research reviews. The focus of this paper is on diversity and intercultural education, examining how the specific form of Minzu (‘ethnic’) education is constructed in the Chinese language in Mainland China, by performing a systematic review of PhD dissertations from a top minority-serving institution (Minzu University of China). The paper shows that the dissertations represent a vast array of topics and contexts, much broader than e.g., publications available on Minzu education published in English. However, the ‘Westernization’ of theories and concepts/notions used is noted. Conclusions are drawn as to why it matters to take into account this kind of ‘underground’ knowledge in education research.

中国民族教育研究:一所少数民族服务大学的博士论文答辩回顾
在特定背景下用不被广泛阅读的语言发表的研究成果可能包含多种知识,而这些知识往往是用英语发表的国际研究成果所不具备的。因此,博士论文,尤其是用英语以外的语言答辩的博士论文,代表了 "正在形成 "的重要知识,但它们往往被排除在发表的研究综述之外。本文的重点是多样性和跨文化教育,通过对一所顶尖少数民族服务机构(中国民大)的博士论文进行系统回顾,研究在中国大陆如何用汉语构建民大("民族")教育的具体形式。论文显示,这些论文代表了大量的主题和背景,比以英语出版的有关民大教育的出版物要广泛得多。然而,我们也注意到所使用的理论和概念/观念的 "西方化"。我们得出结论,为什么在教育研究中必须考虑到这种 "地下 "知识。
