#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！)
