Funded Activity Summary

Respectful encounters: Enhancing understanding and engagement between Western and Confucian-heritage educators. One in four students in Australian universities is an international student and Chinese students are the largest group. International education is our third largest export and contacts between Australian and Chinese universities are rapidly increasing. This, however, is often based on outmoded or stereotyped assumptions about scholarship and learning. This project on both sides will build Australian educators' knowledge of complexities and contemporary developments within China's cultural and intellectual paradigms. It will thus increase the appeal and relevance of Australian education to Chinese students and academics, enhance our engagement with China, and improve the international reputation and competitiveness of our universities.
