Abstract

As teachers and researchers, our personal narratives define our professional boundaries in this culturally polarized world. "Researchers have a story to tell about themselves as well as their work" (Ladson Billings, 1995: 470). These stories may reveal who we are as researchers and educators (Carter, 1993; Paterson and Neumann, 1995). We may not be aware of our projection of "otherness" of others when we interact with colleagues and students from different cultures to ours. Those who are perceived as "other" may be stereotyped having a "native" point of view and considered as biased irrespective of their dynamic global histories (Banks 1992; Narayan, 1993: 677). This paper will explore the dilemmas and crossroads I have faced as an educator and researcher that shaped my global educational identity and "global imagination" (Rizvi 2014: 124).
