For today’s episode, I want to open up a discussion on some of the unique challenges that foreign-born faculty, in particular women faculty, face in universities and colleges in the United States.
I come from a place of seeing and knowing former classmates, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances who have gone through different hurdles than what I have experienced as an Asian American who was raised in the United States by immigrant parents from South Korea.
And I also come from a place of deep curiosity, because I know that there is a wide spectrum of experiences that we don’t hear very much about.
So I’d like to invite you to share your own stories, experiences, and challenges with me or more publicly if you prefer.
I think that people in higher education—especially in the US context—can really benefit from hearing more of your candid stories and your experiences.
