As an associate director of HSUHK's Centre for Public Policy Research, I am honored to be part of the newly launched "Consortium for Social Change, Well-being and Social Policy Studies." This consortium aims to enhance collaborative research among universities and strengthen the government's capacity to improve the social well-being of their respective countries. Other committed universities in this consortium include Lingnan University, National Taiwan University, UNSW Sydney, and Hong Kong Metropolitan University, among others. I want to express my deepest gratitude to Lingnan University for taking the lead in establishing this consortium. Here is the website of the consortium. Details of its latest conference can be found on the website, and there will be more updates. I look forward to more collaborative projects among universities, civil society organizations, and governments with the support of this platform.

Qi Li’s article in #IHE118 analyzes the trajectory and tensions of academic personnel system reforms in China's higher education. While the reforms have increased institutional autonomy, fostered competition, and boosted international competitiveness, there are still several key tensions including: 🔹 Misalignment between institutional values and implementation 🔹 Massive pay disparities between the tenure-track elite and the majority of contract faculty 🔹 Hiring based on who-you-know rather than merit at some institutions The path ahead requires balancing growth and reforms.

The model minority myth paints a picture of Asian Americans as a monolithic group with unparalleled success in academics. A new study by Metro Center affiliate, and NYU Steinhardt Assistant Professor, Mike Hoa Nguyen unpacks this myth, exploring the needs of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander students and how higher education institutions support these populations. In 2007, Congress established a federal designation for higher education institutions that enroll at least 10 percent of undergraduate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA&NHPI) students, and who enroll a significant proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. This designation as an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution (AANAPISI) was among one of the newest categories of minority-serving institutions that receive federal funding to advance educational equity and support for ethnic and racial minorities. In a two-site case study, assistant professor Mike Hoa Nguyen, collected data from interviews, internal and public university documents, and observations of activities, courses, and meetings to determine the process in which AANAPISI programs expand students’ capacities through culturally relevant course work, mentorship, research, and civic engagement. His findings are published in @The Review of Higher Education.

Excited to share my first publication as a Graduate Student at Johns Hopkins University Advanced Academic Programs/The Johns Hopkins University! Thank you Lance Devreaux Jackson and East-West Center in Washington's Asia Pacific Bulletin (APB) for publishing me. The APB is a publication that is focused "on policy-relevant Asia Pacific developments and US-Asia relations," and is, "designed to provide insights, information, and perspective for the busy professional or policymaker." My contribution is APB #709: Understanding the United States’ Place in the Pacific: Why the Pacific Partnership Strategy has been Successful for both the Pacific and US. I speak about the success of taking an approach that listens to Pacific Islanders, opening up the opportunities for enhanced relations in a post-decolonial world and opportunities for self-determination and self-governance. This article was an excerpt from the 2nd part of my Master's thesis, which I am also excited to share will be presented at the 2025 International Graduate Student Conference at the East-West Center in February!
