Download or read book Voices of Asian Americans in Higher Education written by Festus E. Obiakor and published by IAP. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voices of Asian Americans in Higher Education: Unheard Voices is a unique and historical book. Asian Americans are often portrayed as “model minority,” yet their personal and educational experiences are often unheard. In this book, 10 Asian American educators and scholars present realistic pictures of America’s higher education using personal narratives. The contributors in this book come from different regions and teach in different colleges and universities; and coincidentally, they all endure the “outsider” category formerly as students and now as professors and leaders. This “outsider” status can be emotionally overwhelming and psychologically unnerving. This status hampers opportunities for Asian Americans to grow and maximize their fullest potential. Though they develop different strategies to address their “outsider” label, it does not make it comfortable. But, time and time again, they have proven that they can succeed! In this technological age, we must value unending truths as we educate ourselves and others. We hope that this book will be an educational and informational resource for students, administrators, and faculty in higher education and also educational policy makers and stakeholders.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, international cooperation in higher education has become the norm in China and around the world. To exemplify these relationships, this edited volume devotes individual chapters to case studies of China-U.S. international higher education partnerships focused on 1) Collaborative graduate programs; 2) Research collaborations; 3) Student mobility; 4) Multi-institution collaborations; 5) Cultural exchanges; and 6) Branch campuses. These case studies will illuminate the strategies, challenges, and perceived benefits of cross-national collaboration. Case studies are bookended with introductory and concluding chapters that link cooperative activities to theory on diplomacy (including Western "soft diplomacy" and Chinese five principles of "peaceful coexistence" narratives); internationalization of higher education; and reflections on student and scholar mobility between Chinese and US institutions.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the experiences of Asian American and immigrant Asian faculty members and administrators in the U.S. higher education. The motivation of this study was, in spite of the rising presence and educational attainment, Asian American and immigrant Asian women are notably underrepresented in academic leadership roles. Asian American women fall far behind White females in leadership positions in higher education. Grounded in a theoretical framework guided by Mohanty's Post Colonialist Feminist Criticism, a qualitative research has been conducted where 15 female participants (faculty members and/or administrators in the U.S. higher education), who identified themselves as Asian Americans or immigrant Asians, were interviewed. Data analysis focused on the interview transcripts while coding categories and finding themes. Based on each research question, categories and themes have been described based on patterns. This study focuses on three primary areas, which include the experiences of the participants, their way of combatting challenges, and the role of support system and mentors in their journeys. Findings show that almost all of these 15 participants experienced gender and racial discrimination at varied levels both inside and outside classrooms. Sometimes it was easy for them to decipher whether the discrimination was based on race or gender, sometimes it became difficult. They felt women of color lived in the intersection of multiple jeopardy. Along with racial and gender discrimination, these women talked about discriminations based on their short height and dressing. As a result, most of them expressed disinterest in pursuing or continuing with leadership roles in academia. All participants unanimously admitted the importance of mentoring in shaping their careers. Implications for policy, practice, theoretical framework, recommendations, and future research are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's potential threat to the existing global order is not derived from her rapid economic growth and military expansion, but from China's potential domestic chaos. The workable solution of China's democratization under the current Chinese political system is not to dissolve the Communist Party of China, but to begin with freedom of media, religion, and citizen participation.

Download or read book Pathways and Experiences of Asian American Community College Presidents in California written by Man Phan and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative phenomenological study examined the experiences, events, and circumstances that affected the ascension of Asian Americans to the community college presidency in California. Through in-depth, conversational interviews, the researcher recaptured the rich personal, professional, and cultural stories shared by each of the seven current Asian American presidents. At the time of this writing, the seven Asian American college presidents represented only six percent of all college presidents in the California community college system. A fundamental question that guided this study is why do Asian Americans, despite their recognized success in academia, have the lowest representation of all ethnic groups at the presidential level in higher education? What discrimination, if any, did Asian Americans experience in their quest to become a college president? By exploring the pathways, experiences, and situations of the seven sitting Asian American presidents, the aim is to discover whether these Asian Americans, given their racial identity, encountered any unfair treatment in their ascension to the presidency. The study utilized the Critical Race Theory and glass ceiling model as a lens to examine the under-representation of Asian American educators at the top executive level. The stories, as told by these seven Asian American presidents, revealed that while they had encountered some form of racial discrimination in their personal lives and professional careers, those challenges however did not impede their attainment of the presidency. Instead, the findings revealed this select group of Asian American educators was determined to excel in their careers and managed to overcome certain racial micro-aggressions and stereotypes through persistence, hard-work, and other values imparted upon them by their bicultural identity. Contrary to the common belief that the paths to the college presidency for Asian Americans are hindered by some degree of institutional barriers and racism, the accounts by these seven Asian American presidents suggest that personal factors, including but not limited to communication styles, leadership qualities, personal comfort, family consideration, and tolerance for failure are the reasons for the under representation of Asian Americans at the top administrative echelon in higher education. What emerged from the study is a model of the pathway to the college presidency; a model that incorporates both the glass ceiling theory and critical race theory. The study concluded with a list of recommended actions that Asian Americans aspiring to become college presidents can take to increase their representation at presidential level. The recommendations contain implications of transformational leadership and public policy. This study contributes to the paucity of literature on Asian American leadership in higher education and highlights the values of a diversified college administrative team.

Download or read book The Asian American and Pacific Islander Higher Education Leadership Experience in California s Four year Universities written by Cirian Villavicencio and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the United States as well as in California, relatively few Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) serve in leadership positions in four-year universities. This research uses a qualitative phenomenological approach that examines the lived experiences of AAPI administrators in four-year public and private higher education institutions in California. The purpose of this study is to investigate these leaders’ lived experiences while attempting to understand their observations of the sociocultural challenges and institutional barriers of the higher education leadership pipeline. Twelve California four-year university higher education administrators participated in this study. Participants discussed the importance of mentors and supporters, having the right skill set, and being in the right place at the right time that helped them enter and/or advance through the leadership pipeline. Participants also discussed being a role model, supporting the mission of higher education to educate and elevate society, and a desire to make the world a better place as the key motivators that influenced them to choose higher education as a career. Participants shared how their cultural values of integrity, humility, collectivism, and impartiality, coupled with hard work, helped them to become caring and successful leaders. Lastly, participants spoke about increasing the number of AAPIs in higher education administrative leadership. They suggested that it requires expanded leadership program development; continued meaningful relationships with mentors; intentionally promoting and advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives on campus; and reforming the hiring process to adapt more equity-minded principles.

Download or read book Leadership Journeys of Asian Women in US Higher Education written by Mamiko Reeves and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pace of change in the diversity of executive leadership teams in US higher education institutions has been slow. In particular, women are underrepresented and Asian women are acutely underrepresented compared to the potential candidate population. At the same time, articles and research highlighting important performance and financial benefits from increasing women in executive teams continues to emerge. This study focused on insights from the leadership development journeys of five successful Asian women executives in US higher education. The purpose of this narrative study was to examine how these women described their leadership development journeys and whether critical reflection impacted their leadership development. Key insights from their stories were highlighted from interviews for aspiring Asian women candidates to better prepare for their career advancement. These insights include practical advice on mentor and network strategies as well as behavioral advice for aspiring candidates to develop skills to be more assertive and take calculated risks in reaching for stretch positions. Insights are also documented for academic institutions to improve their leadership development construct, including improved training formats, development programs and selection processes. There are many research reports which explore gender differences in leadership and a few that focus on minority challenges. However, the discussion of Asian women in the context of educational leadership is limited and this research will contribute to leadership studies.

Download or read book The Long Game written by Rush Doshi and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a century, no US adversary or coalition of adversaries - not Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, or the Soviet Union - has ever reached sixty percent of US GDP. China is the sole exception, and it is fast emerging into a global superpower that could rival, if not eclipse, the United States. What does China want, does it have a grand strategy to achieve it, and what should the United States do about it? In The Long Game, Rush Doshi draws from a rich base of Chinese primary sources, including decades worth of party documents, leaked materials, memoirs by party leaders, and a careful analysis of China's conduct to provide a history of China's grand strategy since the end of the Cold War. Taking readers behind the Party's closed doors, he uncovers Beijing's long, methodical game to displace America from its hegemonic position in both the East Asia regional and global orders through three sequential "strategies of displacement." Beginning in the 1980s, China focused for two decades on "hiding capabilities and biding time." After the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, it became more assertive regionally, following a policy of "actively accomplishing something." Finally, in the aftermath populist elections of 2016, China shifted to an even more aggressive strategy for undermining US hegemony, adopting the phrase "great changes unseen in century." After charting how China's long game has evolved, Doshi offers a comprehensive yet asymmetric plan for an effective US response. Ironically, his proposed approach takes a page from Beijing's own strategic playbook to undermine China's ambitions and strengthen American order without competing dollar-for-dollar, ship-for-ship, or loan-for-loan.

Download or read book Multilateral Asian Security Architecture written by See Seng Tan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comparative assessment of the material and ideational contributions of five countries to the regional architecture of post-Cold War Asia. In contrast to the usual emphasis placed on the role and centrality of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Asia’s multilateral architecture and its component institutions, this book argues that the four non-ASEAN countries of interest here 3⁄4 Australia, Japan, China and the United States 3⁄4 and Indonesia have played and continue to play an influential part in determining the shape and substance of Asian multilateralism from its pre-inception to the present. The work does not contend that existing scholarship overstates ASEAN’s significance to the successes and failures of Asia’s multilateral enterprise. Rather, it claims that the impact of non-ASEAN stakeholders in innovating multilateral architecture in Asia has been understated. Whether ASEAN has fared well or poorly as a custodian of Asia’s regional architecture, the fact remains that the countries considered here, notwithstanding their present discontent over the state of that architecture, are key to understanding the evolution of Asian multilateralism. This book will be of much interest to students of Asian politics, international organisations, security studies and IR more generally.
