The Inner World of the Immigrant Faculty of Color

  • Jean Kaya

摘要

In this chapter, I investigated the experiences of five immigrant faculty of color in the United States. I employed the psychology of immigration as a theoretical lens and first presented excerpts of the story of each immigrant faculty of color. I found that each immigrant faculty of color engaged in internal dialogues triggered by lived experiences, and each faculty member revealed a unique inner world shaped by their academic and immigration-related experiences. Next, I discussed the themes that emerged across stories. The discussion highlights the complexity of relationships between immigrant faculty of color and students, colleagues, and senior leadership in addition to navigating immigration processes that required legal action by these faculty members. I concluded with a line of questions about future approaches to onboarding, evaluating, and supporting immigrant faculty of color.
