| Description | In the last decade, we witnessed significant changes in terms of economic, education and cultural development both inside and outside China, creating valuable opportunities for understanding the cultural stereotypes Asians and Westerners have about each other. In this paper I interrogate my migrant experiences, a female bilingual early career researcher in multilingual and multicultural environments and then re-entry to work in China as a leading researcher in ten years’ time. My series of auto-ethnographic dialogues between a cast of characters, recalling experiences, perceptions and emotions provides readers with opportunities to actively respond to the text. Through this auto-ethnographic memoir and performance, I hope to contribute to new directions for narrative research in intercultural contexts. |
