The Mongolian Teacher (Tsogtgerel BUMERDENE)

The country of Mongolia is sandwiched between Russia and China, and there are ethnic Mongolian areas in all three countries. So when talking about Mongolian people in China, it's not always clear whether you're talking about ethnic Mongolians from the Chinese province of Inner Mongolia [内蒙古 - Nèiménggǔ], or Mongolian nationals from across the border. Today's episode is with Tsogtgerel ("Tsogi") Bumerdene, a Mongolian national living in China, who wears this mantle of identity every day. But more than that, she's an artist, designer, teacher and mother. So we cover all of these facets in our casual yet wide-ranging conversation. The episode also includes catch-up interviews with: DJ BO from Season 02 Episode 23 https://mosaicofchina.com/season-02-episode-23-dj-boand Abe Deyo from Season 01 Episode 07 https://mosaicofchina.com/season-01-episode-27-abe-deyoChapters00:00 - Trailer & Intro 00:56 - Part 1 16:15 - Part 2 25:42 - Outro 29:34 - Catch-Up Interview [1]33:36 - Catch-Up Interview [2]Subscribe to the PREMIUM version, see the visuals, and/or follow the full transcript for this episode at:https://mosaicofchina.com/season-03-episode-10-tsogtgerel-bumerdene Join the community: Instagramhttps://instagram.com/oscologyLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/mosaicofchinaFacebookhttps://facebook.com/mosaicofchinaWeChathttps://mosaicofchina.com/wechat
