Summary:

In this presentation I will reflect on the training, experiences, and significance of international comparative and international education doctoral students in a transnational age. I will briefly explore comparative and international education as field(s) in China and North America and, more broadly, the impact of globalization on expectations for and the needs of diverse doctoral students for effective mentoring. The last decade has witnessed dramatic growth of the scholarship on the doctorate and its purposes, accompanied by increased calls for assessment, articulation with changing employment opportunities, and a dramatic rise in the number of students globally pursuing tertiary degrees. While globalization is a ubiquitously cited trend in these analyses, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the needs and/or impact of international students in/on doctoral programs. Drawing on a pilot study of the experiences of Chinese doctoral students in Indiana University’s comparative and international doctoral program, I hope to arrive at some practical suggestions for creating a community of practice for international interdisciplinary training for comparative and international education doctoral students.
