Dr. Sarah Jane Lipura (University of Auckland)





via Zoom

*Bio*
Sarah Jane Lipura obtained her doctoral degree in Asian Studies from the
University of Auckland. Her research sits at the intersections of
contemporary educational mobilities, migration and Korean Studies and her
work in these areas has been published in reputable international journals
such as the Globalisation, Societies and Education, Research in Comparative
and International Education, and Review of Korean Studies. In the
Philippines, Sarah contributed actively to the promotion of Korean Studies
through various initiatives supported by the Academy of Korean Studies and
the Korea Foundation at Ateneo de Manila University.



*Abstract*

This talk draws on the author’s doctoral dissertation that examines the
pathways, experiences and imagined lives of Korean degree-seeking students
in Fiji, India and the Philippines – study destinations considered to be at
the periphery of global knowledge production while being referenced as
popular among Koreans. Informed by the Migration and Mobilities Nexus
Framework (MMN) (Piccoli et al., 2024), this presentation particularly
features how the flows of Korean students across these three spaces
manifest the complex interplay between migration and mobilities, impacting
students’ everyday place-making and aspired trajectories. Employing the
theoretical categories of continuum, enablement, hierarchy and opposition
and drawing on narrative data empirically captured from three different
locations, it highlights the following key findings: first, it illustrates
how co-ethnic brokerage through the practices of different types of Korean
migrants play a role in (re)producing continuing and more stable forms of
knowledge mobilities in and out of Korea towards Fiji, India and the
Philippines. Second, it reveals Korean students' fluid and contradicting
ethnic and global identities as education migrants on the one hand and as
mobile Koreans on the other. Lastly, it attends to the ways by which
students’ narrations of their experiences and imagined lives reflect the
indeterminacy and unevenness of migration-mobilities outcomes and
trajectories. The findings featured in this talk hope to expand the
thematic and geographical scope of as well as enrich critical and
interdisciplinary perspectives on Korean Studies.
