Description
This exploratory mixed-methods study sociologically investigated how Chinese international Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students in Australia engage in the resilience process throughout their candidature. Semi-structured interviews and a subsequent online survey respectively with 18 and 220 participants from this student cohort revealed diversified and empowering strategies to grapple with multiple and concurrent challenges encountered by the student participants. Instead of pathologising them as vulnerable victims, this study drew on Bourdieu’s sociology and took a strengths-based approach, highlighting student agency and reflexivity in the face of symbolic violence, which may proffer insights for key stakeholders in resilience-building.
