This issue uses the powerful narrative of autoethnography to makevisible the existence of international professors and teachingassistants who speak English as a Second Language. These important,but often invisible, individuals contribute daily to the educationof students within the US postsecondary educational system. Much ofthe research on international faculty in the classroom has focusedon gathering voices of US students as the subjects, so there is anotable absence in the literature of voices of the nonnativeEnglish speaker in the classroom. This volume adds to theliterature by covering a variety of experiences, such as faculty ofcolor teaching intercultural communication, international teachingassistants’ attitudes toward their US students, and thechallenges to existing cultural assumptions in the US classroom.These experiences—in the form of challenges andcontributions—are foregrounded and highlighted in their ownright.
