摘要：In this article, we use a duoethnography approach to reflect on our emotional experiences of reintegrating in academic community in two different universities. We start to explore our experience of dialoguing our knowledge, skills and global perspectives in teaching and supervising students in undergraduate thesis writing, demonstrating how we as junior lecturers often making confrontations with the ‘conventional’ and ‘traditional’ sounded educational system which have been deep rooted within the Department. In this sense, there has been a conflictual emotion which we should address, utilizing our new knowledge or returning back to the existing norms. Whilst exploring our experiences of dealing with conflictual emotional beliefs, we also examine issue such as identity construction as being an academic returnee responding to the confrontation in academic environment. This study results may resonate the concrete condition of academic returnees reintegrating to their academic milieu in other part of the countries.
