Abstract

This chapter recounts how the lived experiences of an Afro-Indigenous-European Caribbean immigrant constitute his teaching approaches and perspectives in higher education. Particularly, this chapter focuses on the author's journey from the Dominican Republic to the front of the U.S. college classroom. The author focuses on the ways in which his nonnative English-speaking immigrant status influence his teaching practices. Specifically, the author centers intercultural communication processes as a conceptual thread that connects his immigrant experiences, teaching philosophy, and pedagogy.
