Being and becoming academics: Cases of overseas returnees’ career pathways in China
06 Jun 2023, 14:00 – 15:00
Mei and Wen will illustrate how a top-notch scientist and an average overseas returnee grow up as early career researchers in Chinese higher education (HE). They'll discuss the patterns and characteristics of early career development and how returnees mobilise resources and carve out spaces for career development so as to integrate into Chinese academia.
This online event will be particularly useful for researcher, teachers and students.
