This book makes valuable theoretical, empirical, and methodological
contributions to the study of overseas doctoral students'
cross-cultural adaptation. Focusing on Australia, one of the top
three destinations for Chinese students, this book seeks to
understand how Chinese doctoral students perceive their lived
experience of adapting to the academic and research environment at
Australian universities. The book presents an innovative data
collection chiefly based on interviews. It probes into Chinese
doctoral students' emic perception of their cross-cultural
adaptation from a human development perspective and in three main
phrases: how motivated and prepared they are for their overseas
stay (planning), how they experience their adaptation as active
agents (implementing), and how they evaluate their overseas
doctoral journey after the fact (reflecting). Empirically speaking,
its findings can help bolster the effectiveness of cross-cultural
adaptation and that of the internationalisation of doctoral
education. Methodologically speaking, it combines popular
techniques and underused instruments such as graphics and maps to
offer an in-depth portrait of the issue. Given its content, the
book is primarily intended for researchers in cultural studies and
practitioners in international education, or in a broader sense for
anyone who has a keen interest in how individuals navigate the
learning trajectory and construe meanings in unfamiliar academic
and socio-cultural settings. Though the book focuses on Australia
as a case study, its findings are equally applicable to other
contexts.
