Intercultural collaboration for transformational change in higher education conveyed us as scholar activists, one Mestiza and one Northern-Western European, on a 10-year journey of reflexive practice, rooted in exploring and navigating underlying meanings and mores in our cultural ontologies. Using reflexivity, curiosity, and generosity, scholar practitioners purposefully crafted intercultural pathways for teaching, research, writing, and speaking, while negotiating cultural meanings, power, and inequities. We offer pragmatic approaches for intercultural reflexive collaboration in scholarship and practice, for social justice and equity in higher education and student affairs.
