ABSTRACT
In this chapter, a second-generation Taiwanese American Professor who now lives and works in Germany discusses how ethnic-racialized identities can be strengths in navigating academic pathways that affirm and value who we are. Readers are asked to reflect on their own identities and whether spaces allow and encourage them to exist simultaneously. The chapter suggests specific readings and work from minoritized historians, writers, and scientists to further our understanding of who we are in relation to the work we do and the careers we are building. An emphasis is that one of the core things we are tasked to do – writing and revising – can be acts of resistance and love.
