Abstract

My first teaching experience, in the winter of 1994, was at a public university in Beijing, China.

Hired to teach third-year English majors in an American Literature course, I was 22 and had just graduated from college myself. In the weeks leading up to the class, I grew a beard to try to create the illusion of a greater distance between my age and theirs. I learned later it didn't work.
