Abstract In this chapter, the editors introduce the book and place it in dialogue with the first volume on the subject they co-edited (Migrant Academics’ Narratives of Precarity and Resilience in Europe, OBP, 2023). In doing so, they detail the intentions and the process of working on this book, the understanding of academic migrancy, transnational mobility, precarity and resilience and the choice of (creative) narrative writing as an academic method for this project. Finally, the editors introduce the stories in this book and suggest several ways to read them.
