CMR’s fourth episode of season 3 is out!
In this podcast, we have Yichi Zhang, a PhD student in Social Anthropology, talk to her research interlocutor, Shannon Chen-See Nehemiah. They talk about Shannon’s life experiences growing up as a fourth-generation Chinese Jamaican and an active poet and artist. They ruminate upon the commonality of minority experiences, which relates to being different from others and learning to embrace that difference. Their friendship also blooms through connections with the Chinese identity – a journey of forming relationships by encountering and going beyond people’s sameness and differences. Shannon also reads a poem about the minority experience and discusses its creation.
