Introduction: Asian migration and education cultures in the Anglo-sphere / Megan Watkins, Christina Ho and Rose Butler. "This paper presents some frameworks for understanding how Asian migration both shapes and impacts upon education outcomes, systems and cultures, focusing on Australia, the U.S., the U.K. and Canada." -- Abstract. |
| 1. 'We are all Asian here': multiculturalism, selective schooling and responses to Asian success / Megan Watkins. "This article examines how students, parents and teachers in one Australian selective high school [not identified] negotiate the phenomenon of 'Asian success'". -- Abstract. |
| 2. Why class matters less for Asian-American academic achievement / Jennifer Lee and Min Zhou. "Asian-Americans are 6% of the U.S. population but comprise more than one-firth of the entering classes in the country's Ivy League universities ... Unable to explain the paradox, commentators have pointed to the role of Asian culture in promoting exceptional academic outcomes. We debunk the specious claim that academic achievement can be reduced to Asian culture. What has been missing from the debate is the role that U.S. immigration law has had in ushering in a steady stream of highly selected, highly educated immigrants from Asia." -- Abstract. |
| 3. The construction of British Chinese educational success: exploring the shifting discourses in educational debate, and their effects / Becky Francis, Ada Mau and Louise Archer. "The high achievement of British Chinese students in the British education system is established in the official literature ... The study revealed the 'hidden racisms' experienced by British Chinese students, the problematisation of their perceived approaches to learning by British teachers in spite of their high attainment, and the benefits, costs and consequences of their valuing of education." -- Abstract. |
| 4. The new meritocracy or over-schooled robots? Public attitudes in Asian-Australian education cultures / Christina Ho. "The academic success of Asian-Australian students has become increasingly visible over the last decade. They are over-represented in high-performing schools, gifted and talented programmes and prestigious university courses. These achievements have generated both admiration and anxiety." -- Abstract. |
| 5. Representations of East Asian students in the UK media / Rachel Brooks. |
| 6. Race and legitimacy: historical formations of academically selective schooling in Australia / Helen Procter and Arathi Sriprakash. "The article examines a series of twenty-first century newspaper debates about the apparently disproportionate success of Asian students in qualifying for entry to a prestigious academically selective public high school in Sydney, Australia, [Sydney Boys High School]." -- Abstract. |
| 7. Education, real estate, immigration: brokerage assemblages and Asian mobilities / Shanthi Robertson and Dallas Rogers. "Mobilities of people and capital from Asia to Australia now encompass policies and practices that link immigration, citizenship, international education and real estate investment in complex and entangled ways." -- Abstract. |
| 8. 'Tutored within an inch of their life': morality and 'old' and 'new' middle class identities in Australian schools / Rose Butler, Christina Ho and Eve Vincent. |
| 9. Academic segregation and the institutional success frame: unequal schooling and racial disparity in an integrated, affluent community / Sean Drake. The article focusses on a school in a South California suburb. |
| 10. Indian tigers: what high school selection by parents pursing academic performance reveals about class, culture and migration / Sharon Aris. "In Australian schooling there is a high degree of social segregation including ethnic segregation (Cobbold 2009). This is particularly notable in elite academically selective high schools, which in Sydney are dominated by students from a language background other than English (Ho 2011), most predominantly those from Chinese and Indian backgrounds (Vialle 2013). -- p. 158. |
| 11. 'Asian fails' and the problem of bad Koreans boys: multiculturalism and the construction of an educational 'problem' / Greg Noble. "This paper focusses on a case study of a school addressing the identified problem of a group of Korean-background boys and their educational underachievement, acts of truancy and classroom misbehaviour." -- p. 174. |
