摘要 In the existing research on academic literacy socialization (ALS), few studies have focused on the cross-contextual experiences of doctoral students in Asian academia, particularly academic communities that may seem similar but actually could be quite different culturally and historically. Addressing the issue how reading trajectory interacts and how the sojourner manages to transform in different academic contexts, this longitudinal case study zoomed in on the experience of Meili, a Chinese multilingual scholar who traveled from Chinese Mainland (CM) to Taiwan to pursue a Ph.D. and then returned to CM trying to establish an academic career. Data were collected over 35 months via multiple sources for triangulation. Analyzing her reading trajectory as interconnected activity systems, Meili transformed her reading practices by (1) reading to pass exams in CM, (2) reading to be socialized into the Taiwanese academic community, (3) reading to situate her doctoral dissertation and academic work, and finally (4) reading to face the challenges of international and domestic scholarly publications. Notably, contextualized reading practice was found critical as the first conscious encounter of a new stage, marking the beginning of a new ALS process. Implications and suggestions are provided.
