Through
an
exploration
of
the
literacy
practices
of
undergraduate
Chinese
international
students
in
the
United
States
and
China, Inventing
the
World
Grant
University demonstrates
the
ways
in
which
literacies,
mobilities,
and
transnational
identities
are
constructed
and
enacted
across
institutional
and
geographic
borders.
Steven Fraiberg, Xiqiao Wang, and Xiaoye You develop a mobile literacies framework for studying undergraduate Chinese international students enrolling at Western institutions, whose numbers have increased in recent years. Focusing on the literacy practices of these students at Michigan State University and at Sinoway International Education Summer School in China, Fraiberg, Wang, and You draw on a range of mobile methods to map the travel of languages, identities, ideologies, pedagogies, literacies, and underground economies across continents. Case studies of administrators’, teachers’, and students’ everyday literacy practices provide insight into the material and social structures shaping and shaped by a globalizing educational landscape.
Advocating an expansion of focus from translingualism to transliteracy and from single-site analyses to multi-site approaches, this volume situates local classroom practices in the context of the world grant university. Inventing the World Grant University contributes to scholarship in mobility, literacy, spatial theory, transnationalism, and disciplinary enculturation. It further offers insight into the opportunities and challenges of enacting culturally relevant pedagogies.

Recenzii
“[C]omplex,
richly
textured,
and
illustrative
of
the
challenges
and
opportunities
of
designing
and
delivering
high-quality
learning
environments
in
higher
education
today.”
—David S. Martins, Associate Professor and Writing Program Administrator, Rochester Institute of Technology
“[This] study provides invaluable insight into the cultures, struggles, strategies, motivations, and educational histories of Chinese international students . . . the authors highlight ways in which institutions seek to manage these students’ mobilities. This insight is essential for teachers and scholars of writing and literacy working in increasingly internationalized and interconnected institutions of tertiary (and secondary) education.”
—Brice Nordquist, Assistant Professor of Writing and Rhetoric, Syracuse University
"Inventing the World Grant University. . . is deeply grounded in theory, specifically theories of 'mobile literacies,' an approach that the authors write 'centers on how literacy affords and constrains movement of actors, identities and practices across geographical and social structures.' But readers who aren’t invested in the theoretical framework can still find much of interest in the authors’ analysis of how the recent and rapid growth in the number of Chinese students on American campuses raises questions about 'who changes, how much and into what.'"
