An ethnic-sensitive approach to supervision and staff development-part II

This paper has two main parts. Its subject is the complementary experience of teaching overseas students on a Higher Degree course in social work, and of being an overseas student taught on such a course. After an introduction which surveys our knowledge about the experiences of overseas students generally in the UK it describes the particular experiences of a cohort of Hong Kong students at the University of Hull, and then, in a modest experiment with style and form, concludes with a section by two of the authors, Leung (a student) and Harris (an academic who selected and supervised her during her course), which constitutes a personalised account from the perspectives of consumer and provider.
