This invited editorial article is based on my experience shared at the 2021 MMIRA Asia Regional / 7th JSMMR Annual Conference. The inaugural Asia Open Forum (AOF) was initiated by the Japan Society for Mixed Methods Research (JSMMR) and the Mixed Methods International Research Association (MMIRA) in 2019 at Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan. The 2021 AOF was the 3rd panel which I have been honored and privileged to be a part of since it was established. The focus of the 2021 AOF was on “Mixed Methods Research Knowledge and Skills Acquired While Abroad.” The purpose was to capture the journey of panel speakers’ mixed methods learning outside of Asia and discuss the impact on their research career of their scholarly activities while abroad. I shared my mixed method research (MMR) learning in the U.S. and how I brought and shared what I leaned back to Taiwan. This article briefly discussed the following areas: (1) my background and my MMR dissertation, (2) my career path and the innovative Taiwan study abroad program, (3) my academic training abroad and continued professional development in mixed methods research, (4) my teaching of mixed methods research doctoral course, (5) my MMIRA and JSMMR encounters, and (6) my promotion of MMR in Taiwan, Asia, and abroad.
