About this listen

In this episode, Biao Xiang and researcher Siqi Tu speak about her ethnographic work on transnational education. Specifically, the phenomenon of affluent Chinese families sending their children to American private high schools at a young age.

What begins as a study of global mobility and elite education quickly unfolds into a profound meditation on the emotional, psychological, and existential costs of living a life meticulously engineered for success.
