Critical autoethnography highlights challenges of Asian American leadership in disruptive contexts, suggesting changes in response to historical exclusion.
In this critical autoethnography that integrates culturally relevant motifs and multimedia data sources, the author describes the complexities of being an Asian/American academic leader in always-perilous times. She focuses on the sociopolitical aspects of being and leading in a highly disruptive post-2024 inter/national context, but also recenters the historical contexts of racially exclusionary, hostile, and segregationist spaces in and out of academia that have impacted Asian/American bodies. She offers comparative and critical analyses of the connections between the past and present, especially around re/emerging concerns and questions about birthright citizenship and other constitutional rights for Asian/Americans.
