Abstract
In this auto ethnographic paper I discuss the range of issues that resulted largely from the multiple diectical identities I embodied both vocationally and culturally while as an American I was simultaneously moving between two worlds of higher education in England and Japan, “multi-tasking” as both PhD student-researcher and faculty member at a private university where I was conducting ethnographic research at my place of work.
