The implications of the Chinese learner for the internationalization of the curriculum: An Australian perspective

Racial biases in recruitment by accounting firms: The case of international Chinese applicants in Australia

“…However, in actual fact, the Australian university sector has always been of the view that what it sells is education and nothing more (and "let the buyer beware"; Blumberg, 1989,p.7;Tinker, 2005, p. 109,125, fn. 32), not the prospect of a future accounting career (McGowan and Potter, 2008). As experienced university educators, we (the authors) are concerned with this situation, and with the futures of all of our accounting graduates, irrespective of their country of origin.…”

“…Indian, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, and Chinese graduates, according to one interviewee, are working in sales jobs at petrol kiosks and convenience stores, thus joining Australian society's marginalised "underclass" (regarding the contemporary sociological concept of the underclass, see Giddens, 1989, p. 221, 752;McGregor, 2001, p. 26, 272-286;Waters, 1991;Waters and Crook, 1993, p. 193-207, 262-285;Wild, 1978,p.21, 40, 63-65, 173). 4 Accounting academics are encouraged to resist steadfastly the harsh neo-liberal position that maintains that we as educators are no more than the salesmen of a commodity (McGowan and Potter, 2008). We instead hope to re-direct attention back to the classic liberal (and progressive) view of education as an empowering force, able to socialise an individual within society, and able to develop the individual's talents to the fullest (see, for example, Amernic and Craig, 2004;Boyce, 2002Boyce, , 2004Boyce, , 2008James, 2007;Kaidonis, 2004;Levitas, 1974;Marcuse, 1969;McPhail, 1999;Partington, 2004;Thomson and Bebbington, 2004).…”

A case study of critique: Critical perspectives on critical accounting

“…The articles focusing on education mainly highlight deficiencies in current accounting education, such as the lack of ethics and sustainability considerations in programs and curricula (Reiter, 1996;McPhail, 1999;Gray & Collison, 2002;Boyce, 2008;Low, Davey & Hooper, 2008), the narrow, quantification-oriented scope of accounting studies (Chua, 1996; Lewis & Owen, 1996) and issues associated with teaching minority students (Gallhofer et al, 1999;Saravanamuthu, 2008;McGowan & Potter, 2008;. Others have critically examined the ramifications of commercialization in the university sector (Dillard & Tinker, 1996;Dominelli & Hoogvelt, 1996; see also Special Issue in 2002, Vol.…”

Chinese Curriculum Design and Motivation of Chinese Background Students in Australian Tertiary Education

“…Australian Education International (AEI) reports for 2007 indicate that Chinese-background students made up one third of all international students in higher education in Australia (AEI 2008;McGowan and Potter 2008;. It was reported, regarding the five main sources of Chinese-background students in higher education pursuing coursework, that 24.9% were from mainland China (32424 visas granted), 5.5% from Malaysia (7098 visas), 2.7% from Hong Kong (3517 visas), 2.6% from Singapore (3441 visas), and 1.5% from Taiwan (1921 visas).…”
