Call for papers, Special issue, “In and Out of South Korea: Examining
Inter-Asian Mobilities in Higher Education”



Jiyeon Kang, jiyeon-kang at uiowa.edu



Due: March 1, 2021



We are seeking papers for a special issue to be published by *Globalisation,
Societies and Education (GSE)*.

The special issue, “In and Out of South Korea: Examining Inter-Asian
Mobilities in Higher Education,” is based on an October 2020 conference
exploring the same topic. We are looking for additional contributors to be
considered for the special issue. For more information about the
conference, see

The special issue will examine South Korea as an important node of the
increasing inter-Asian mobility in higher education. Until the twentieth
century, the most popular pattern of study abroad was movement from the
non-West to the West. However, over the past two decades Asian students
have increasingly withdrawn from traditional destinations and moved to
other Asian countries for their university education. For instance, the
number of international students going to South Korea increased 40 times
since 2000. Additionally, in 2019 for the first time the number of Korean
students heading to Asian destinations outnumbered those going to North
America.

The special issue aims to address several themes. First, it examines
the heterogeneous
strategies, desires, and practices that individuals, universities, and
states deploy in envisioning “opportunities abroad” for youth. Second, it
studies the intimate dynamics of “Inter-Asia”—the idea that Asia is
multiple and heterogeneous—through the window of higher education. Third,
it not only presents Asia as an alternative to the West but critically
rethinks global hierarchies and notions of “success” and “failure.”



We seek papers based on empirical research and theoretical exploration that
address themes including (but not limited to) students’ desires and
strategies, institutional responses and national policies, public
discourses, and norms and ethics of globalization. *GSE *is an
interdisciplinary journal and we welcome work carried out from a variety of
disciplinary perspectives (https://www.tandfonline.com/loi/cgse20).



The special issue will be co-edited by Jiyeon Kang (Communication Studies
and Korean Studies, University of Iowa), Younghan Cho (Korean Studies and
Cultural Studies, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies), and Le-Ha Phan
(International and Comparative Education, Universiti Brunei Darussalam and
University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa).



A full paper of 5,000-8,000 words and an author bio should be submitted to
jiyeon-kang at uiowa.edu no later than March 1, 2021.

Authors will be informed about acceptance or rejection by April 1, 2021.
All manuscripts are due to *GSE* by June 1, 2021. If you have any
questions, please contact Jiyeon Kang (jiyeon-kang at uiowa.edu) and Younghan
Cho (choy at hufs.ac.kr).
