About me

She has specialised interests in the effects of social and cultural forces shaping the education and migration nexus and its related aspirations. Her current research publications and projects lie in the theorisation of transnational mobility and education of diverse international students and refugee families; sociology of Asia literacy and teacher identity work in an ‘East-meets-West’ curriculum. One key area is the investigation around developing ethical engagement with global shifts and relations in education.She hopes her interdisciplinary work can contribute to policy enactment of international education and migration nexus within Australia and beyond. This is particularly vital when migration via education is becoming a prominent wave of mobility upon which the potential of international education to transforming individuals into global citizens is huge.

Prior to her lecturer position, she was a Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow at Oxford University while working as a research associate within the Division of Education, Arts and Social Sciences. In 2011 to 2014, she sat on the Editorial Board of the Social Identities: Journal of Race, Nation and Idenities and African Identities for which she was the Book Review Editor. She is currently sitting in two Editorial Boards: one as a Board member of a new journal launched in 2016- the Transitions: Journal of Transient Migration; and the other, in 2019 - the Advisory Subject Area Editor of International Education - Journal of Global Education and Research.

In 2015, Dr Soong won an Endeavour Fellowship by Australian Government to examine the phenomenon of student-migrant mobility in Singapore. In the same year, she was offered Early Career Researcher award by the Australian Association for Research in Education and New Zealand Association for Research in Education International Conference.

She welcomes any HDR enquiries in the areas of interest.

Currently, she is part of the following funded research projects:
