Chinese International Students' Experiences in a Canadian University: Ethnographic Inquiry with Gender Comparison
Ge, Lin; Brown, Douglas; Durst, Douglas
Journal of International Students, v9 n2 p582-612 2019
This study employs ethnographic inquiry to present the lived experiences of Chinese international students while attending the University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada. The findings display the transformative experiences of this group, including language acquisition, academic and social challenges, and the strategies by which the cultural group attempts to overcome the challenges with gender comparison. This study highlights specific challenges affecting Chinese female students as they labor to overcome sexism and patriarchy on two continents. Cultural stereotyping and negative labeling are also evaluated in detail. Arguably, the findings might impact educational and social policies and university protocols for accommodating vulnerable groups. Recommendations are made to alleviate difficulties for Chinese international students by facilitating a more supportive learning process within the university environment.
