Biography
Jingran Yu is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Education, Xiamen University, China and an Honorary Research Associate at the School of Environment, Education and Development, University of Manchester, UK.
'Jingran Yu’s Mobile Educational Spaces and Imaginative Student Experiences takes us inside the emergent spatiality of Sino-foreign universities, which are key intersections of educational and governance cultures with a transformative impact much larger than their size suggests. Lively reading, seriously insightful, highly recommended.'
Simon Marginson, Professor of Higher Education, University of Oxford and Joint Editor in Chief of Higher Education.'This is a fascinating account of a transnational higher education institution in China, based on detailed ethnographic research. It shows, in a compelling manner, how the students attending such an institution, while not physically internationally mobile, can be considered ‘imaginative travellers’, profoundly affected by the transnational flows that characterise their campus.'
Rachel Brooks, Professor of Higher Education, University of Oxford and the President of British Sociological Association.
