Abstract
This chapter highlights the author's lived experience navigating her identity within Japan, the United States, and the transnational third space using autoethnography through storytelling. Autoethnography is a qualitative research tool that acts as a platform for and allows silenced, ignored, minoritized, oppressed, erased, and invisible voices and experiences to be accessed and heard. The author's accounts are through vignettes to illustrate her journey of empowerment in this transnational space. Suggestions are on how autoethnography can be useful in research and in classroom settings to create a transnational Third Space in educational contexts.
