This work critically examines the issues of gender, race, and the dominant masculine and patriarchal culture in Western academia by centralizing the dynamics of (in)visibility and hypervisibility among East Asian women academics. The findings reveal a nuanced understanding of how minority individuals experience (in)visibility and hypervisibility, moving beyond rigid categorizations and the tendency to frame them as either entirely positive or negative. Instead, these states exist on a continuum, shaping an 'in-betweenness' experience, which can often serve as a source of agency, enabling individuals to navigate feelings of foreignness, the pressure to assimilate into the majority, and actively engaging to making unique contributions in their work. These findings contribute to critiquing and supplementing the conceptualization of (in)visibility among minority members while also highlighting the unique experiences of East Asian women in Western academia.
