Fashion, Hatian Literature, & Digital Humanities
Mei’s work is quite fascinating, and it was refreshing to speak with someone who is fairly close to where we are in the process of developing from graduate students into scholars in our chosen fields. I appreciated her openness and willingness to discuss her experiences with navigating the intricacies of the process. I also enjoyed seeing some of the online work that she is involved with, especially the social media project called Rendering Revolution. Her work provides an instructive example of how we, as graduate students, can begin to carve out places for ourselves within our fields and also how we can use digital tools and platforms to reach audiences beyond academia.
