Abstract
This paper draws upon qualitative fieldwork undertaken in Hong Kong, over the space of a decade, to reflect upon how educational (im)mobilities are folded into the structures that would seem to determine young people’s anticipation of futures. It draws upon two large research projects in particular – one which involved children’s international migration in search of education; the other which examined examples of young people ‘stuck’ in Hong Kong and prescribed, by virtue of their ‘failure’ in the school system, particular circumscribed life chances. The paper attempts to change the spatial lens through which international education is viewed–away from the focus on ‘exodus’ (Abelmann, N., and Kang, J., 2014. Memoir/manuals of South Korean Pre‐College Study Abroad: Defending Mothers and Humanizing Children. Global Networks 14 (1), 1–22) towards a sense of ‘internalisation’ (and the impact that international education is having ‘at home’). The paper speaks to wider debates concerning educational migrations (the role of students as migrants) and the formative role that education (both domestic and international) plays in contemporary societies.
