Lin Lin
Lin Lin, Childhood/Early Childhood Education Department, presented on the topic of "Promoting Global Awareness through a Unit on Immigration” at the International Assembly of the 93rd Annual Conference of the National Council for the Social Studies on Nov. 22 in St. Louis, Mo.
Earlier this summer, Lin wrote a chapter, “Overcoming Roadblocks on My Cross-Cultural Journey,” that was included in a newly published book titled Seeking the Common Dreams between the Worlds: Stories of Chinese Immigrant Faculty in North American Higher Education. The book is edited by Yan Wang, Macao University, and Yali Zhao, Georgia State University. This is the first book that probes the lived experiences of Chinese immigrant faculty in North American higher education institutions: their struggles, challenges and successes. The book explores how Chinese immigrant faculty’s past experiences in pre/post China’s economic reform have shaped who they are now, what they do and how they pursue their teaching, research, service and daily life that inevitably intertwines with their present and past diverse cultural backgrounds and unique experiences.
Tiantian Zheng, a professor in the College’s Sociology/Anthropology Department, contributed a chapter in this book.
