Challenges, Changes, and Choices: Immigrant Academics of Color in American Academia
Delgado, Rosite K. G.; Sun, Qi
Adult Learning, v33 n3 p114-122 Aug 2022
Immigration is a hotly debated and deeply polarizing topic in American society. The past few decades have seen an influx of immigrants from Asia, Africa, and the Americas who contend with having a double-minority status. This qualitative study advances an understanding of the lived experiences and acculturation process of immigrant academics of color within American academia. Findings indicate struggles of cultural disequilibrium, marginalization, and the challenges of gaining or regaining cultural, professional, and social capital. Their experiences and perspectives have explicit implications for adult learning.
