Yingyi Ma
Assistant Professor of Sociology
Syracuse University
Chinese students are flocking to American schools and universities in the belief that the American education system is superior. At the same time, Americans look to China—where students have much higher test scores—to seek ways to improve the U.S. system. What explains this paradox? And what can we learn by comparing the two systems?
Professor Ma has written about education in China and the United States from the perspectives of race, ethnicity, gender, science, and immigration. She graduated from Nanjing University and received her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Johns Hopkins University.

We’re Turning 100!
To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”
Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
