Drawing together expanded notions of diaspora with cultural studies theory, intersectional feminism, and social movement organizing, this article focuses on transient scholarly communities emerging in the course of the ongoing internationalization of scholarship. These communities form situationally around shared knowledges and collaborative process-oriented knowledge practices. Situated at the intersections between different institutional contexts, situated activities, research cultures, and languages, these communities are worth to be paid attention to: This article explores transient scholarly communities as particular socio-cultural formations, loci of "identities in formation," and emergent sites of alternative social, political, and economic (re)organization and praxis of international scholarship. With this, it aims to intervene into the assumptions guiding a large part of the discourse on, as well as the politics and practices towards internationalization; and to contribute to more nuanced considerations—among scholars, policy-makers, and university administrators alike—of how equitable conditions and strategies for mutual understanding across, and with respect to, the growing geographical, cultural, and linguistical diversity in international scholarship can be achieved.
