  • Student to Scholar: Learning Experiences of International Students
    Peer-Reviewed Article ISSN: 2162-3104 Print/ ISSN: 2166-3750 Online Volume 6, Issue 1 (2016), pp. 216-240 © Journal of International Students http://jistudents.org/ Student to Scholar: Learning Experiences of International Students Yolanda Michelle Palmer University of Saskatchewan (Canada) ABSTRACT The author discusses the learning experiences and processes of selected international graduate students within a Canadian university as they progressed from student to scholar. Inspired by social learning theorists Lave and Wenger’s (1991) notion of apprentice to masters in situated learning and communities of practice, the student to scholar framework sheds new light on the phenomenon of being an international graduate student. The arguments within the paper counter traditional views of learning as occurring solely through classroom engagements and offers that international graduate students learn and achieve “scholar” status through situated practice, professor mentoring and triple learning. Data were captured through observations and in-depth phenomenological and semi- structured interviews. Keywords: International Students, Academic Language and Literacy, Triple Learning In recent times, and with many possibilities for academic advancement and immigration after graduation, Canada has become a leading destination for international students in pursuit of their academic and professional goals (Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada [AUCC], 2011; Bhandari & Blumenthal, 2011; Choudaha & Chang, 2012; Citizenship and Immigration Canada [CIC], 2012; McHale, 2011). When contemplating study opportunities, Canada’s affordable education also propels the growth in the number of students seeking to study within the country. According to the Canadian Bureau for International Education [CBIE], in 2012 Canada was ranked the world’s seventh most popular destination for international 216 students (CBIE, 2014).

This transformation, from student to scholar, is widely discussed in the literature. However, re- cent rapid changes in university culture have resulted in less time for supervision, stricter comple- tion deadlines, and a greater focus on efficiency and productivity. This has had an impact on this transition process, and this impact has not been widely studied. The aim of this article is to under- stand the consequences of the current trends for PhD students and the education of PhD students in general. The article is based on interviews with 14 international students from two different research programs at the Faculty of Engineering and Science at Aalborg University in Denmark. The case of international PhD students in a western setting is singled out as a challenging case for becoming a legitimate scholar, since they face the additional challenge of becoming socialised into their new foreign setting. Overall, the study concludes that the transition process of doctoral students is affected by the way different supervisors deal with current university trends and how PhD students fit or do not fit into their knowledge production practices.

The process of writing a thesis is long and rather dull, I could not have found the motivation or excitement in my work without the support and empathy of Dr. Michael Mosser and Dr. Iris Lujing Ma. I thank Dr. Mosser for his humor and patience, and I thank Dr. Ma for expertly guiding me through one of the most complex periods in recent history. This thesis is dedicated to my father, your idea all those years ago made for a quite a topic. 1 Abstract Author: Abigail Myers Title: Those Who Fight and those Who Write: Overthrowing the Elites and their Institutions Supervisor: Michael Mosser, Ph. D. This thesis discusses the sociopolitical movement anti-intellectualism in both a historical and modern context. It is an interdisciplinary study incorporating history, philosophy, sociology, and political economy. The focus of this paper is anti-intellectualism as a whole, however in order to illustrate key pillars of anti-intellectualism, the history of anti-intellectualism in both China and the United States is used. This parallel demonstrates that even among seemingly opposite countries commonalities exist as a product of anti-intellectualism. This paper concludes with a discussion of the findings and their relevance to the proliferation of anti-intellectualism in society today.

Reviewed by Mimi Godfrey, Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, DC Among his many instructions about the publication of his own autobiography, Mark Twain wrote, When a man is writing a book dealing with the privacies of his life—a book which is to be read while he is still alive—he shrinks from speaking his whole frank mind; all his attempts to do it fail, he recognizes that he is trying to do a thing which is wholly impossible to a human being. The frankest and freest and privatest product of the human mind and heart is a love letter; the writer gets his limitless freedom of statement and expression from his sense that no stranger is going to see what he is writing.
