This collection explores the ways in which women in academia from
culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds mediate the
negotiation between linguistic discrimination and linguistic
diversity in higher education, using autoethnography to make
visible their lived experiences. The volume shows how women in
academia from CaLD backgrounds, particularly those living or
working in the Global South, draw on their multivalent complex
linguistic backgrounds and cultural repertories to cope with and
manage linguistic and systemic gender discrimination. In adopting
authoethnography as its key methodology, the book encourages these
academics to “write themselves” beyond the conventions from
which women in academia have traditionally been forced to speak and
write. The collection features perspectives from women across
geographic contexts, sub-fields, and levels of experience whose
stories are not often told, putting at the fore their narratives,
lived experiences, and career trajectories in mediating issues
around power, ideology, language policy, social justice, teaching
and learning, and identity construction. In so doing, the book
challenges the wider field to expand the borders of discussions on
linguistic discrimination and higher education institutions to
critically engage with these issues. This book will be of interest
to scholars in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, and cultural
studies.
This book analyses parental anxieties about their children's
healthcare issues in urban China, engaging with wider theoretical
debates about modernity, risk and anxiety. It examines the broader
social, cultural and historical contexts of parental anxiety by
analysing a series of socio-economic changes and population policy
changes in post-reform China that contextualise parental
experiences. Drawing on Wilkinson's (2001) conceptualisation
linking individual's risk consciousness to anxiety, this book
analyses the situated risk experiences of parents' and
grandparents', looking particularly into their engagement with
various types of media. It studies the representations of health
issues and health-related risks in a parenting magazine, popular
newspapers, commercial advertising and new media, as well as
parents' and grandparents' engagement with and response to these
media representations. By investigating 'a culture of anxiety'
among parents and grandparents in contemporary China, this book
seeks to add to the scholarship of contemporary parenthood in a
non- Western context.

In the 1990s, China's economic reform campaign reached a new high.
Amid the eager adoption of capitalism, however, the spectre of
revolution re-emerged. Red Classics, a historic-revolutionary
themed genre created in the high socialist era were widely taken up
again in television drama adaptations. They have since remained a
permanent feature of TV repertoire well into the 2010s. Remaking
Red Classics in Post-Mao China looks at the how the revolutionary
experience is represented and consumed in the reform era. It
examines the adaptation of Red Classics as a result of the dynamic
interplay between television stations, media censorship and social
sentiment of the populace. How the story of revolution was
reinvented to appeal and entertain a new generation provides
important clues to the understanding of transformation of class,
gender, locality and faith in contemporary China.
