“…As "outsiders within" the walls of higher education, Filipinas engage in the hidden labour often demanded of women of colour in academia, especially by students seeking support by faculty who look like them (Misra et al 2011). For Paola, the high proportion of Filipina/o/x studentsand the under-representation of this ethnic group as facultyadded to the already heavy workload of community college faculty (Karides et al 2020).…”

“…Tonya can withstand income unpredictability because she has retirement income. Additionally despite home-ownership being an increasingly impossible feat for many faculty in Hawai'i (Karides et al 2020) -Tonya had enough savings from her previous career to purchase a home upon moving to Hawai'i, which she now rents to tourists for more supplemental income. White faculty from the Global North enjoy the economic privilege that stems from a global political-economy founded on histories of colonialism.…”

Immigration policies in the Global North often prioritize migrants based on professional qualifications, leading to a reliance on the labour of "highlyskilled migrants" (HSM), especially in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Yet, the workplace experiences of HSM have been understudied, including in higher education. Based on 50 interviews with STEM faculty in Hawai'i, we identified that HSM faculty held distinct ways of negotiating employment circumstances that were categorically different than Hawai'i or U.S.-born faculty. While some HSM expressed feelings of inclusion in their multi-ethnic workplace, others shared stories of bias and discrimination. To untangle this divergence, we conceptualize the professional workplace in Hawai'i as one shaped by histories of occupation and migration. Using "ethnic embodiment" (Retsikas) and Hill-Collins' "outsider within", our analysis contributes to scholarship on the career pathways of HSM, as we consider how histories of place can influence perceptions of ethnic and racial belongingness.
