This article draws on the concept of boundaries in understanding the identity practices of a group of Malaysian skilled migrant women working in the Australian education sector. Drawing on in-depth interviews with these women on their migration and work experiences, the author explores the concept of boundary work within an educational framework. The findings of this qualitative study indicate that these migrant women negotiate discourses of cultural binaries to explain their migration experiences and at the same time rework these discourses of cultural binaries. They draw on multiple cultural and educational resources in negotiating social and symbolic boundaries. In this process, their identities as transnational educational workers are located at the interplay of structure and agency.
