Knock on the Door: The Experiences of Internationally Educated Women Seeking Academic Positions in China

This study examines how gender shapes the experiences of internationally educated Chinese women academics in obtaining academic positions in higher education institutions in China. Drawing on feminist theories and using a qualitative narrative method, this paper investigates women’s
 experiences in applying and interviewing for academic jobs in China. The findings demonstrate various challenges women encounter, including gender-based discrimination, arbitrary evaluation criteria, and institutional inertia, and illustrate women’s subjectivity in pursuing academic
 careers. This study exposes the limitations of the statistical understandings of gender parity and the negative effects of neoliberal measurability, and suggests measures for institutions to promote gender equity.
