Jie is a Research Fellow working on the project of UK-ASEAN Partnerships and Exchanges Baseline Research (UK-ASEAN PEER). In this project, she contributes to work packages on both transnational education arrangements and research collaborations between the UK and 15 East Asian countries and territories. One of the key strands in this project is to investigate the diversity and inclusivity of international higher education partnerships. Jie has developed a strong interest and expertise in inter- and transnational higher education. She is keen to explore different constructions of globalisation and internationalisation, and tensions and interactions of structures and agency across and within geographical contexts. Her doctoral research critically explores the relations between institutional discourses and individual understandings in imagining what-is (and what could-be) sustainable international partnership in higher education in the UK and China. It examined how particular understandings of sustainable partnerships and internationalisation are narrated, represented and legitimised across and within the UK and China, and what are the alternatives to move beyond pre-constructed imaginaries of sustainable international partnerships in higher education.
