Description
Summary:	With the intense debates over the extent to which foreign-born in the U.S. science and engineering (S&E) workplace displace U.S.-born, very few have focused on the work experience and professional activities of foreign-born in S&E. This article examines the extent to which India-born in the U.S. S&E workforce consider themselves professionally successful and/or facing institutional barriers, and their transnationalism between the United States and India. The article is primarily based on in-depth interviews conducted with different strata of scientists and engineers from India.
