论高等教育政策的国际迁移

高等教育政策的国际迁移是高等教育政策和模式在国与国之间传播、改造、并在新的环境中使用的过程,表现为直接的模仿、批判地吸收、启发与创新等不同的形式和结果。政策的国际迁移是现代高等教育决策的一项重要特征,其有效实现有赖于对输出国与输入国高等教育发展的背景差异和共同要素的全面考察,以及对国际政策迁移的本土化适应的把握。     

Rights-Based Education for South Asian Sponsored Wives in International Arranged Marriages

The Family Class Category of Canada’s Immigration Policy exists with the key objective of family unification. Among Canada’s second largest immigrant group, the South Asians, the cultural practice of arranged marriage is applied across international borders, leading to spousal sponsorship. Existing research on South Asian sponsored wives suggests that they tend to misunderstand their rights as sponsored persons, as well as the rights and limitations of their sponsors. Misunderstandings may lead women to passively respond to sponsor-imposed barriers to integration. This paper builds a case for educating South Asian women about their sponsorship rights to assist them in recognizing and responding to rights violations. The paper presents an educational framework that would respond to their unique needs and vulnerabilities.     

文化人类学视野下的哀牢犁耙会

哀牢犁耙会原来以农业生产工具为交易活动的主体。客观生存环境条件和神话传说都说明,哀牢民族不是一个农业民族,而是渔猎民族。哀牢犁耙会并不具备哀牢文化的历史本质,而是汉族移民文化在与哀牢文化之间进行博弈的历史产物。哀牢犁耙会的文化本质是农业民族的岁时节日,反映的是农业生产生活方式的节律,体现的是农业文明的精神风貌。随着文化的变迁,哀牢犁耙会正在面临文化空巢的危机。     

多元视角下的中原姓氏入闽迁台研究

至今所见,中原姓氏入闽迁台之相关研究,在海峡两岸先后出现三个研究视角。先是福建地方史研究中涉及的中原姓氏入闽问题,此类研究,最早可追溯到南宋著名史学家郑樵等闽籍学者对福建民间家族再造中关于"闽祖光州固始"的回应。再是20世纪二三十年代兴起的跨区域移民史研究,尤其是闽台学者对闽南、客家姓氏祖地及姓氏播迁的溯源研究。然后是20世纪80年代,随着两岸关系缓和及闽台同胞寻根活动之开展,由豫、闽、台三地学者共同推动的两岸关系视角下的中原姓氏入闽迁台研究。由福建地方史向跨区域移民史和两岸关系研究视角之转移,总体上呈现为历史向文化演进的趋势。

Immigrant Families and Children (Re)Develop Identities in a New Context

Resolving conflicting linguistic traditions and struggling with new identities are significant challenges for immigrants to the United States. This case study introduces an immigrant mother from Mexico who renamed her youngest son on his first day of first grade to avoid the widespread stereotypes and academic stagnation experienced by her two older sons. Such (re)naming practices constitute and represent the very precarious social and institutional relationships taking place in schools involving immigrant children. In this case study, there was indication of negative aspects of assimilation processes taking place as the family adapted to a new culture and language. For example, the misconception is still widespread that efforts to learn two languages rather than just one diminish a child’s ability to learn other things, which should be learned. However, research in language acquisition and development, points to bilingualism and multilingualism as resources rather than deficits (Souto-Manning, 2006).     

From perceived polarization of immigration attitudes to collective action

In the context where immigration divides the political space of Western societies, perceived social polarization as an explanation of collective action is surprisingly understudied in contemporary social psychology. We hypothesize that the more people perceive polarization, the more they will engage in collective action in line with their attitudes. Moreover, this effect should be explained by two interrelated factors: identification and perceived efficacy. Perceived polarization should shape how important immigration attitudes are for individuals’ self-definition and thereby believing oneself capable of making a change, which in turn triggers collective action. To test our predictions, we conducted three studies (Studies 1 and 2 were correlational and Study 3 experimental) among mobilized and non-mobilized samples in two countries (i.e., Belgium and Switzerland). Results partially support our predictions that perceived social polarization on immigration issues relates to engaging in collective action. Indirect effect analyses revealed the predominant role of identity dynamics in the social psychological processes linked to perceiving polarization. These results provide potential explanations to the strong mobilization that emerged since 2015 following the so-called migrant crisis. Implications of our findings for collective action literature are discussed.     

Rethinking of immigration policy change and its impacts on foreign Chinese students＇ adaptation in the US after September lIth

This paper, through a phenomenological study, is designed to study those overwhelming problems and concerns in intercultural adaptations commonly confronted with foreign Chinese students at an American institute since September 11th. After a qualitative study on the concerns and intercultural adaptations of fifteen Chinese graduate students majoring in different programs, it was found that in addition to language and culture deficiencies, the instability and the changes of the immigration laws and regulations regarding international students and scholars after the September 11th incident in the US is the big hurdle that encumbers them from a comparatively faster and better adaptation. The growing economic prosperity in Mainland China also affects the foreign Chinese students＇ motivation in intercultural adaptations in the US.
