In the late 1990s, South Korean students became the third-largest group of

However, within a decade they began heading to other Asian countries instead,

cultural and ethnographic methods to study Chinese and South Asian students at
South Korean universities and South Korean students in the non-traditional
destinations including the Philippines and Brunei. These studies offer rich
accounts of the individual strategies, institutional practices, and national
discourses of students leaving from and coming to South Korea. They also
analyze various institutional and state actors in both the sending and
receiving countries, providing a glimpse of national projects to create new
national elites. Together, the conference will address study abroad within Asia
as a cultural project through which individual students envision “opportunities

students do not adapt to the Korean university in the way imagined by the
normative framework. Nevertheless, these students make the study-abroad space
inhabitable through transnational and technological networks of belonging—to
the Chinese K-pop fandom, to overlapping networks with conational students on
campus and in Korea, and to the emergent networks back in China that they
prepare to return to. These modalities of belonging serve as a window both to
South Korea’s configuration as a host country and to Chinese students’
strategies for navigating non-elite and inter-Asian study abroad. Additionally,
these findings suggests that the normative models of belonging in study abroad
(multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism) must be reconsidered.<span></span></span></p>

students’ inter-Asia knowledge migrations with focus on their academic
experiences of pursuing postgraduate degrees in Korean Studies at Korean
universities. For this purpose, it focuses on their strategic choices and
adjusted aspirations in choosing Korean Studies as their majors as well as
mediocratic academic experiences at Korean universities. By deploying
ethnographic approach, this study illuminates the variegated dimensions in the
process of becoming academics in Korean Studies from sponsored students in
South Korea to professors in their home countries. First, it discusses
Southeast Asian students’ rationales for choosing Korea and Korean universities
for their destination based on scholarship opportunities. Second, it explores
their unexpected encountering, dilemma and negotiations in classrooms in Korean
universities. Finally, it traces how they manage their academic careers in
continuous collaboration with Korean academics, universities and government. As
a way of conceptualizing their inter-Asia mobility in higher education, we
suggest the term “complicit mobility”, which refers to another type of
knowledge migration engendered within the intersection between Southeast Asian
students’ aspiration of upgrading their life and vocational conditions and
Korea’s desires of globalizing Korean Studies. (By complicit mobility, we shed
light on invigorated, negotiated and collaborative experiences of Southeast
Asian students as well as on Korea’s excessive nationalist motivation in Korean
Studies.) <span></span></span></p>

Asia, with a particular focus on Korean students in Brunei Darussalam. It pays
attention to Korean students’ choice and justification of Brunei as their study
destination despite the consistent negative media discourse and construction of
Brunei Darussalam as an unpopular country. It also examines how and to what
extent their actual experiences of studying and living in Brunei (re)shape
their perceptions of the place. Engaged with the literature on the internationalization
of higher education and student mobilities, particularly the emerging
scholarship on inter-Asian student mobilities, it discusses how various
established and emerging actors/players in higher education co-construct,
consolidate, extend, contradict, and resist certain discourses and images
largely associated with less known and less exposed places such as Brunei. The
paper is informed by a qualitative case study research conducted with Korean
international students currently studying in Brunei universities. The findings
and argument put forth in the paper offer space for difficult questions to be
addressed, interrogated and taken seriously at all levels of policy, pedagogy
and curriculum of the internationalization of higher education. Likewise, they
urge more critical discussion of mobilities in general and student mobilities
in particular, in which social class, discrimination and prejudices associated
with religions and lack of knowledge/biased knowledge play a major role.

highlighted the unprecedented growth of international students globally, the
unique case of South Korea as one of the world's largest suppliers of
international students has not been widely explored beyond the context of West-bound
mobility. This paper is based on a wider study foregrounded on the need to
‘decenter’ research on international education by advancing a broader and more
inclusive view of study abroad that is differentiated socially and spatially as
illustrated by the presence of international students in what I introduce (and
develop) as the ‘fringes’. Drawing on previous interviews with degree-seeking
Korean international students in India, Philippines and Fiji, it principally
explores how Korean students in the 'fringes' bypass global structures of
prestige and value and how they re-imagine, re-position and navigate themselves
in and out of Korea. Through this focus, the paper not only engages and
interrogates dominant discourses on 'contra-flow' mobility but also offers
insights on the growing complexities of contemporary Korean society. <span></span></span></p>

postgraduate lives of Asian international students who studied in regional
universities outside the global city of Seoul, South Korea. International
student mobility has been largely conducted in the context of their moving to
prestigious Anglophone universities that has tended to generate universally
recognizable cultural capital necessary for career success, such as diplomas
from these highly ranked global universities and fluency in English. Thus, less
research has been conducted to how students’ educational credentials earned in universities
outside Anglophone countries have become valuable resources for career success
in the global job market. By analysing how the graduates struggle to transfer
their educational assets to succeed in the job market, this article elaborates
the values of the cultural capital the international students obtained outside
Anglophone universities varied according to the historical and temporal
contexts surrounding the alumni. Focusing on students enrolled in lower-tired
universities in South Korea, this study eventually disrupts the
taken-for-granted idea that international student mobility produces globally
competent cultural capital.<span></span></span></p>

Department at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Her dissertation
focused on South Korean retiree migrants’ small-scale business engagement in
the Philippines and the ways in which the ethical demarcations of “good,”
“wealthy” retirees and “bad,” “poor” entrepreneurs were shaped inside the South
Korean community and created tensions among retirees. Kim is currently working
as an Assistant Professor at the Center for Multiculturalism and Social Policy,
Daegu University and conducting research on international students in South
Korea, mostly focusing on Southeast Asian international students. <span></span></span></p>
