Abstract

As the largest international student group in U.S. higher education, Chinese international students have been made particularly vulnerable due to the resurgence of anti-Asian racism and U.S.-China geopolitical tensions. There is therefore a pressing need to make sense of Chinese international students’ perspectives and experiences around U.S. higher education—and in doing so, to highlight the ever-present educational inequalities rooted in academic capitalism, global unevenness, and institutional racism. This article builds on the results of a critical qualitative research project investigating Chinese international students’ agency, decision-making, and perceptions of race, racism, and power. It aims to unveil global hierarchies and racial inequalities in the field of international education in order to help advance future research and open new paths to practice. Greater critical reflexivity can help enhance the higher education institution’s understanding of and engagement with Chinese international students in today’s highly interconnected but politically polarized society.

新冠肺炎教会了我们什么：通过批判性种族视角推进中国国际学生相关研究、政策和实践

作为美国高等教育中最大的国际学生群体，由于反亚裔种族主义的死灰复燃和美中地缘政治紧张局势，中国国际学生变得特别脆弱。因此，迫切需要了解中国国际学生对美国高等教育的看法和经历，并在这样做的过程中，强调植根于学术资本主义、全球不均衡和制度性种族主义的教育不平等现象。本文基于一个关键的定性研究项目的结果，该项目调查了中国留学生的代理、决策以及对种族、种族主义和权力的看法。它旨在揭示国际教育领域的全球等级制度和种族不平等，以帮助推进未来的研究并开辟新的实践道路。在当今高度互联但政治两极分化的社会中，更大的批判性反思性有助于提高高等教育机构对中国国际学生的理解和参与度。
