Online resources: The numbers of Chinese teenagers studying abroad have dramatically increased since the late 1990s, but there is little understanding about why these trends have occurred, and how these changes have interacted with the lived experiences of parents who make higher education decisions for their children. This case study examines some methodological challenges of using the family-history narrative interpretive method to enquire into and analyse the structural relations and connections of biography and family history, societal changes and transformations and Chinese families' higher education choices and decision-making.
