Project overview
Principal Investigator: Dr. Jay de los Reyes
Funding Institution: UNIVERSITAS 21
Team Members: Dr. Marian Mahat (University of Melbourne), Dr. Caroline Cohrssen (University of Hong Kong/University of New England), Dr. Joanne Blannin (University of Melbourne/Monash University), Dr. Ga Young Chung (University of California-Davis), Dr. Priya Goel La Londe (University of Hong Kong), Dr. Ethel Villafranca (University of Melbourne), Ms. Asma Zulfiqar (University of Queensland)
This project builds on our findings from Reimagining Academic Horizons, by focusing on academics from historically underrepresented groups. It will examine their resilience practices in the context of their experiences with the shifting, relational, differential, and contemporaneous horizontal and vertical mobility or immobility (Adey, 2007; Sheller & Urry, 2006). These include personal narratives about moving into a new country to start a career or studies, getting stuck in certain places, or having career advancements stalled or catapulted.
Resilience Beyond Borders nuances our earlier conceptualisation of resilience by centering im/mobilities and diversity in academic resilience. It engages researchers in Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, and United States with UC-Davis and University of Queensland as new partners. By applying our Academic Resilience Model (conceptualised in the original project) to the nexus of im/mobilities and resilience, our project has the potential to improve policy, leadership, theory, and epistemology to support the success of historically underrepresented group of academics.
