PhD Dissertation on Chinese Students at European Universities


Congratulations to Chinese music educator Dr. Youdi Sun on completing her PhD defense at Vytautas Magnus University in Lithuania.


It was a pleasure to serve on the examining committee yesterday.


Dr. Sun’s dissertation, directed by Prof. Jolanta Lasauskiene, is titled Adjusting to Cultural Differences in Teaching and Learning: The Case Study of Chinese Postgraduate Students in Lithuania.


Dr. Sun submitted a thorough and rigorous study that demonstrates great potential for becoming a highly accomplished researcher. I am hopeful she will manage to attain a postdoctoral position.
