Abstract "This edited volume shares the diverse experiences of immigrant professors in the United States. Chapters provide insight for educators in academia seeking deeper understanding of issues of identity and intersectionality, assimilation and integration, culture and its different manifestations, accent and the politics of language, and hegemonic systems and structures. Blending autoethnographies and case studies, this book highlights the invaluable collective experiences of immigrant professors as they navigate challenges and success. . By sharing these rich stories Immigrant Faculty in the Academy contributes to the conversation on career development, the professoriate, and immigration"-- Provided by publisher.
