Democratising English language research education in the face of Eurocentric knowledge transfer : turning mute Chinese linguistic and theoretical assets into analytical tools

Abstract

The internationalisation of higher education witnesses more and more students from countries through continental Asia studying in Australian universities. They bring with them a fund of intellectual assets from their own countries. However, research education in Australian universities tends to engage in educational processes of transnational knowledge transfer largely centred on Euro-American theories. The intellectual assets of international students from continental Asia tend to be mute in their Australian research education. This poses problems for the democratisation of Australian research education.
