A Preliminary Investigation into the Language Choices of Chinese International Math Scholars
Mon, October 27, 4:30 to 5:30pm, Penn Stater Conference Center, Floor: Main Level, Deans HallDescription
As international students from China continue to work in the United States, research has emerged about their experiences, driven by Chinese and Americans alike. While many studies attend to topics such as how international students adjust to living and working in the United States, or the differences they notice in Western and Eastern pedagogy, the details of the day-to-day work of such scholars remain under-discussed. After briefly discussing some literature about international Chinese STEM students, I present two themes from preliminary data from international Chinese math faculty members that indicate factors that impact the languages they choose in their professional work such as research or teaching.
