Introduction	My name is Teresa Zimmerman-Liu. I was born and raised in a typical white family in the good old US of A. I love studying languages, and after graduating from Georgetown University I went to Taiwan to learn Chinese. There I married into a traditional Chinese family. From 1983 to 2013, I was a Chinese-English translator, ESL teacher, and facilitator of cross-cultural communication. I got an MA in Asian Studies at CSU Long Beach in 2012 and began my doctoral studies in 2013. I graduated with a PhD in Sociology from UC San Diego in 2019. Now I am a lecturer in Asian Studies at CSU Long Beach and in Sociology at National University.
