My Artifacts

Drawing from anthropological theories and our personal experiences, my classmate and I discuss the significant influence that culture, familial expectations and gender stereotypes can have on the learning experiences of individual Chinese students. Even though both of us have chosen to study abroad in the US and grew up in the same city, our educational and family backgrounds are widely different. Based on our gender, we are also affected by different sets of social expectations and stereotypes. In this podcast, we examine these similarities and differences that exist even within the same culture, the concept of culture, and their effects on us today as international students in the US.

With a rigorous and exam-based mainstream education system, homeschooling and alternative education in China has been a relatively new and under-researched concept, but a practice that has been increasing in numbers in recent years. Drawing upon cross-cultural comparisons with the US, where homeschooling is legally recognized and accepted nationwide, this paper examines the phenomenon of homeschooling in China, its development across history, the various forms it takes within the Chinese socioeconomic context, and its challenges and potential in Chinese society. Through looking at specific cases of homeschooling and education laws in both China and the US, this paper proposes that homeschooling and alternative education in China is growing in popularity, and could benefit from government support and further research.
