Brokering occurs when an intermediary, the broker, assists in the transfer or exchange of goods, services, information, opportunities and/or knowledge, where the recipients of such assistance would have had difficulty deriving the benefits of this exchange otherwise. In the context of EAL (English as an additional language) international students at a university, brokering can be understood as receiving informal assistance with understanding unfamiliar texts, interactions, artefacts, and social and cultural practices encountered in the context of the host academic community. I explore the concept of brokering as facilitating learning, drawing on the various ways brokering has been used in both educational and non-educational contexts, that is, understanding brokering as a social phenomenon in communities, as knowledge transfer, and as mediating the translation of linguistic and/or cultural aspects of a new culture. These different applications of brokering contribute to an understanding of brokering as a sensitizing concept. Approaching brokering as a sensitizing concept allows alternative ways of viewing academic learning interactions among students, instead of viewing the phenomenon as having fixed features.

Academic challenges of international students, particularly those with English as an additional language (EAL), have been mostly researched in the classroom context, with little attention paid to students’ informal learning practices. My research looks specifically at the brokering practices of EAL tertiary students in their understanding of academic literacy. Brokering refers to how students seek help from their peers about understanding academic knowledge and skills. I conducted semi-structured interviews and observations to find out who students approached for help, aspects of academic literacy they needed help with, and their perceptions of the experience. The research findings suggest that educators need to pay attention to how students seek peer support in academic learning in order to develop more effective ways of supporting students’ academic literacy needs.

We Are the World: A Journey Beyond Diversity to Cultural Competence Learning objective: Increase cultural competence and strategies in the workplace Seasoned and emerging leaders alike will be held accountable for negotiating and collaborating in an ever-evolving world of differences. Professional cultural competence expands the definition of diversity by encompassing other factors such as lifestyle, sexual orientation, learning styles, industry, positional power, etc. No matter where you are in your career, this course will challenge you to examine “what you know”, “what you don’t know”, and “what you need to do” to move toward greater cultural competence. At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to: a. Define cultural competence and diversity b. List and assess cultural challenges that take place in your organization c. Apply culturally sensitive collaboration and negotiation techniques d. Identify specific personal and organizational strategies to improve cross cultural exchanges

Promoting organizational diversity in any organization requires each employee and the manager to develop a set of skills for their own professional development. As a result a dynamic group develops with a each member providing his or her own cultural identity to the team. Included in this team is not only an employee’s merit but the individual employee’s personality. Equipped with the knowledge of prejudice and discrimination a paradigm of diversity develops within the group. The result is a team of employees sharing and implementing ideas of cultural diversity among each other as well as with their clients.

New Zealand hosts more than 100,000 international students each year. The value of international education, however, is often about global currency rather than global citizenship. Can we move beyond the economic discourse, and encourage meaningful intercultural relationships between international students and their host community? We can, and we must.

Lee, S. (2017, November). The promise of diasporic academics: Potential partnerships between the local and global. Paper presented at the New Zealand Association for Research in Education Conference (NZARE) Annual Conference, Hamilton, New Zealand. Abstract This presentation considers the promise of diasporic academics from the viewpoint of one who identifies herself as a diasporic academic. Drawing from Wendy Larner’s (2015) paper, the presentation is a biographical reflection on the benefits and implications of diasporic academics, in particular, international doctoral students, in higher education. Firstly, I will discuss the definition and examples of a diasporic academic, as well as highlight how diasporic academics are positioned as transnational knowledge brokers in advancing universities' internationalisation strategies and policies. I then focus on a particular group of diasporic academics, international doctoral students. I argue that while they are pivotal in advancing internationalisation plans, the ways in which universities engage (or disengage) with them serve to undermine those internationalisation goals. Then I provide a brief outline of my personal background to set the context of my reflections. I will speak from my experiences as a former leader in my university’s Postgraduate Students’ Association, share about international student engagement in my own faculty, and highlight the tensions arising from university-wide restructuring and significant staff movements. I then offer suggestions how relationships with international doctoral students as diasporic academics can be nurtured in mutually beneficial ways. I conclude that leadership in higher education needs to be cognizant of the potential and challenges of engaging with emerging diasporic academics. After all, diasporic academics are potential partners in growing international networks in an age of academic mobility. Reference Larner, W. (2015). Globalising knowledge networks: Universities, diaspora strategies, and academic intermediaries.

Brokering practices are help-seeking interactions that bridge gaps in the seekers' knowledge and understanding of new cultural practices thus enabling them to access resources they would find difficult to do so on their own. For EAL (English as an Additional Language) students, these help-seeking interactions may involve getting others to translate, interpret or explain particular aspects of the host academic environment. In this research, focused ethnography (Knoblauch 2005) is used to investigate the nature of brokering practices among ten international EAL tertiary students during their initial academic semester of fifteen weeks. Focused ethnography specifically addresses constraints in the research context (e.g. time and access to informants), as well as capitalizes on technological tools such as digital recording devices. In seeking to understand brokering interactions and relationships students have with their brokers, conventional ethnographic methods were adapted, for example, digital ethnographic methods (Pink et al. 2015) were used instead of participant observation. Digital ethnographic methods allows a large amount of data to be recorded and reviewed, a feature of focused ethnography known as data intensity. While this form of intensity has been argued to compensate for a short period of research activity, this research suggests that another form of intensity – relational intensity – is just as important in addressing research constraints. Relational intensity refers to the researcher's ongoing responsiveness to the needs of research participants. The paper concludes that future focused ethnographic research should consider both data-related and relational forms of intensity in addressing research constraints.

A presentation at the 2013 Joint SELF Biennial International Conference and Educational Research Association of Singapore (ERAS) Conference on 10 September 2013. Me and those English-speaking elites: Uncovering the identity of one minority ELL in Singapore The minority English language learner (ELL) in Singapore is one who does not have English as a home language nor considers English as one’s first language even though Singapore’s education system and virtually every aspect of civic life uses and promotes English as a first and official language. Using the narrative inquiry method, I explore one minority ELL’s (“Rachel”) past and present schooling experiences in learning English. Through the lens of primary and secondary Discourses (Gee, 2012), I examine how social relationships and investment (Norton Peirce, 1995; Norton, 2000) have contributed to Rachel’s identity as an ELL. In her foundational school years, Rachel’s English language learning experiences were marked by judgment and humiliation. While her secondary school experience saw more positive experiences through safe houses such as the school band, the fear of using English among English-proficient users remained. At the post-secondary level, Rachel was motivated to improve her English through cumulative successes and a desire for school success. Coming from a working-class background, Rachel’s investment in learning English increased as she saw herself as a future financial provider for her family. Nonetheless, Rachel’s identity as an ELL and the process of gaining cultural capital continue to be at odds with her primary Discourse as a predominantly Mandarin-speaker. The implications of this research include encouraging similar ELLs to tap on positive identities for language learning, as well as helping them come to terms with tensions between their primary Discourse and the secondary Discourse of school.

In BC’s nearly-decade-old “new” curriculum, the curricular competencies describe the processes that students are expected to develop in areas of learning such as mathematics. They reflect the “Do” in the “Know-Do-Understand” model. Under the “Communicating” header falls the curricular competency “Explain and justify mathematical ideas and decisions.” Note that it contains two processes: “Explain mathematical ideas” and “Justify mathematical decisions.” I have broken it down into its separate parts in order to understand--or reveal--its meaning. The first part is commonplace in classrooms. By now, BC math teachers—and students—understand that “Explain mathematical ideas” means more than “Show your work.” Teachers consistently ask “What did you do?” and “How do you know?” This process is about retelling, not just of steps but of thinking. The second part happens less frequently. Think back to the last time that you observed a student make—a necessary precursor to justify—a mathematical decision. “Justify” is about defending. Like “explain,” it involves reasoning; unlike “explain,” it also involves opinion and debate. In order to reinterpret the curricular competency “Explain and justify mathematical ideas and decisions,” I will continue to take apart its constituent part “Justify mathematical decisions” and carefully examine the term “mathematical decisions.” What, exactly, is a “mathematical decision”? Below, I will categorize answers to this question. These categories, and the provided examples, may help to suggest new opportunities for students to justify.
