#48: Casual convo on expat childhood, graduating from college, favorite comfort food w/Judy Chen


Pulled this from what I'll call the Time Capsule Series (recorded a while back, but not-yet-published interviews). This episode is from Summer 2019, after Judy graduated from Tufts University and contemplating next steps. We met up for a casual conversation at the Boston Public Library and talked about all sorts of topics:  

Reflecting on her life as an expat child growing up in Suzhou, China and attending a Singaporean International School
Graduating from Tufts University with an anthropology degree
Conducting research for her undergrad thesis to address the question "What does it mean to have a life at work?" and specifically examining work culture in the SF Bay Area through interviews, participant observations, and conferences (pretty relevant question given the events of the past two years)
Going abroad to Chile for a "double study abroad"
What she hopes to do if granted her OPT (one-year work visa in the US)
What kind of food she seeks out when she gets homesick



(Episode is mostly in English, with some Chinese tossed in. 大部分用英文聊!)
