Abstract:
Despite widespread discourse subordinating the female PhD as a third gender in the Chinese media, little is known about how this cohort conceptualises themselves, especially in an international context. This study examines their enactment of agency in international academic mobility. Drawing on the notions of “agency in mobility” and in-betweenness, this article shows that Chinese female PhD students demonstrate three forms of agency.
