| مستخلص: | Considering that women, people of color, and minoritized faculty are expected to provide disproportionate emotional labor, this study focuses on how "immigrant" women faculty navigate emotional labor in U.S. academia. Based on interviews with 28 "immigrant" women across nationality, race/ethnicity, rank, and discipline, this study examines how they navigate emotional labor particularly through the Trump administration and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Guided by a process of critical thematic analysis, we identify three overlapping themes: (a) conditional citizenship as emotional labor; (b) neoliberal multiculturalism, emotional labor, and gaslighting; and (c) material consequences of emotional labor. We argue the unwritten yet expected disproportionate emotional labor that "immigrant" women experience as gaslighted multicultural subjects reflects gendered and racialized xenophobia in U.S. academia, especially on the backs of women with non-immigrant visas, women of color, Muslim women, and women whose voices are always-already in question. We end with practical implications. |
