Episode #40: 'Finding Balance' w/ Kaishan Kong
Kaishan Kong, my interviewee in this episode, and I were fellow doctoral students at the University of Minnesota and she was also, for a short period of time, my Chinese language teacher! Kaishan is now Assistant Professor of Chinese at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire, and happens to be the spouse of Kevin Clancy (see Episode #30). I am so pleased that Kaishan was able to take the time to share some of her cross-cultural insights and reflections (you can find the 3P’s framework that Kaishan mentions during our conversation here).
