As a specialist in Comparative Higher Education, she has been a full time Lecturer at Brunel University for 10 years. In this period, she was invited as a Visiting Scholar at the Collège de France in Paris in 2006, and also invited as a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Monash University in 2013, where she gave the Sixth Annual LASC Lecture in the Faculty of Arts, School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics, Monash University. 

Previously she worked as a research consultant for OECD; a Visiting Research Scholar in International Relations at LSE in London; a Brain Korea 21 Contract Professor at Seoul National University in Korea. 

She has published one book and over 35 articles internationally in the field of higher education. She is a member of the CESE (Comparative Education Society in Europe) Executive Committee and currently serving as a member of the Executive Board of International Studies in Sociology of Education journal. She is also on the editorial board of major international journals: Comparative Education, Intercultural Education, and Gender and Education. Her research interests cover the following themes - international relations and the changing governance of higher education, knowledge, and the academic profession; academic migration and the knowledge economy, with special reference to Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific countries. 

Many of her invitational writings and plenary talks have taken into account the future directions and strategic needs of Governments, international agencies, and policy think tanks – e.g. OECD, UNESCO-UNEVOC, EMN (European Migration Network), Academia Europaea, UKCGE (UK Council for Graduate Education), University World News, QS Aim, etc.. 

Research & Doctoral Supervision; Work on the EdD programme

 My research areas are interdisciplinary and transnational studies, focusing on issues around universities, governance/management, academic profession, mobility/migration, politics and sociology of knowledge and identities. My recent SRHE-funded research project (2011-2012) was ‘Internationalisation, mobile academics and knowledge creation in universities: a comparative analysis’. The research was (i) to examine critically how the functioning – and ultimately the impact – of universities, in the production of knowledge, new knowledge creation and innovation may be affected by the increasing prevalence of international academic staff mobility; and (ii) to offer an in-depth analysis of the internationalisation of universities through international staffing. The research focused on an important and relatively unexamined area in higher education research - especially the intricate relations of the legal framework (immigration/employment law), the institutional contexts of policy implementation, and the internal sociology and cultural assumptions of daily practice inside academe.

  Abstract: This article begins with the contemporary context of transnational academic mobility, and sketches a typology of mobile academics according to their selfidentification. UK examples are offered as the main case study here. The article will then explore the relations of mobile academics and their embodied and encultured knowledge. It employs a concept of ‘transnational identity capital’ to discuss the position of transnational mobile academic intellectuals as a ‘stranger’ as inspired by Simmel’s sociology of space.

  Abstract: This article is an initial attempt to illustrate how patterns of academic mobility in the history of universities have been framed by the international politics of particular time periods. The article briefly looks at ‘the medieval period’ and then at the emergent colonial and nationalist periods, including the ways that institutions as well as academics themselves were mobile. More contemporaneously the powerful political forces of both the interwar period and the Cold War period (which are well known) are sketched. The final part of the article shows in some detail how, in the contemporary period, the scale and speed of cross-border academic mobility has changed. There are new actors and new ideologies. What is clear from the article is that there is not merely a need to keep information about the flows of academics up to date for policy purposes. It is also clear that we are a long way from being able to theorise the problem, sociologically and comparatively.

  Abstract: This chapter offers a critique of the Confucian legacies in East Asian modernities, knowledge and pedagogies. Specific examples are drawn from China, Korea and Japan for comparative analysis. In East Asia, Confucian thought has been moving, changed and institutionalised in different fields. In terms of education, however, Confucianism gives a number of simple unchanging pedagogic patterns. The chapter offers a critical review of: the Confucian concept of modernity; the nature of knowledge and education in Confucianism; East Asian modernisation and the attributes of Confucianism; East Asian pedagogic commonality as the attribute of Confucianism; and the Confucian impact on educational mobility in the 21st century global knowledge economy and migration. The Conclusion of the chapter suggests that Confucianism has been a dogma in East Asia as differentiated from the West in dichotomy. Confucianism was abused as a part of the twentieth century (self) orientalising process in East Asia. However, the use of Confucian pedagogic attributes in the account of East Asian modernities and knowledge is likely to continue to evolve dialectically in the 21st century global academic discourse.

  Abstract: This paper starts with an overview of the policy and practices of restructuring higher education in South Korea in light of the distinctive characteristics of Korean development and the (un)changing relationship between the State and Higher Education. The majority of higher education institutions (about 85%) in Korea are private, and private universities are dominant: eight out of top ten HEIs in Korea are private universities, and the direct involvement and investment of Chaebol [conglomerates] in the governance and management of universities has been notable. This trend has further intensified amid the process of neoliberal restructuring and global marketisation. There is a public rhetoric about neo-liberal public sector reforms and restructuring; and policy implementations are being made accordingly in Korea as elsewhere. The Korean example, in its changing but continuous triadic relationships between the State, the Corporate and the University implies a sharp contemporary question of relevance to many countries including the UK - especially given the increasingly ambivalent public-private boundaries in higher education: i.e. the question of accountability for whom, in whose interests, and for what purposes and what will be the long-term consequences?
