Dear SSJ-Forum list member,

the Department of East Asian Studies - Japanese Studies at University of Vienna would like to draw your attention to the upcoming hybrid u:japan lecture:

Steve R. Entrich:
"The role of institutional contexts for social inequalities in study abroad intent and participation - Evidence from Japan"

Date and time: Thursday, January 26, 2023, 18:30~20:00 (CET, UTC/GMT +1h)
The Zoom Meeting will be open from 18:15 (CET).
Max. 50 participants (on site) + max. 300 participants (online)

In this hybrid lecture Steve R. Entrich (University of Potsdam) explains that the expansion of international student mobility (ISM) has become a central issue in educational policy. Governments around the world have implemented programs to internationalize higher education and promote ISM among future workers. However, existing research amply demonstrates that students' socioeconomic status strongly influences study abroad intent and participation.
Steve R. Entrich will talk about his research using a nationwide and largely unexploited dataset from Japan, supplemented with university-level data, to address the politically charged question about the role of universities' ISM opportunity structures for (social inequalities in) study abroad intent and participation: Has Japan's recent push towards internationalization of higher education created more opportunities for social distinction of the affluent, resulting in increasing horizontal inequalities, or rather narrowed corresponding SES gaps?

This will be a hybrid event, both live at the Campus of the University of Vienna and online via Zoom. Live participation is available for a limited number of 50 people.
