Abstract | Based on a case study of a major Canadian university, this paper examines the potential to deploy
China’s large and highly skilled diaspora in the service of Chinese and Canadian scientific and
technological development. It studies more broadly the Chinese faculty members of Western
universities as a kind of Chinese knowledge diaspora, and argues that they are a modern kind of
cosmopolitan literati, who could contribute actively to higher education internationalization in both
China and Canada. This case study of demonstrates that the Chinese knowledge diaspora could, under
the right circumstances, contribute much to both Canada and China, and they are keen to do so. As
potential knowledge bridges, they can play a unique role in integrating China more closely with the
international scholarly community. In practice, however, a variety of factors have restricted successful research collaboration. With rich experiences in different cultures and intellectual traditions, such
individuals are a particularly important asset in an era of intensified globalization, and thus deserve
special consideration at both institutional and national levels. However, many of the respondents
reported that their qualities had been much undervalued. |
