Adventures Of A Korean Adoptee PhD Student Season 2 Episode 19

In this episode of Beneath The Surface I talk with Hannah Hyun White, Korean adoptee from Phoenix, Arizona and currently a third-year PhD student studying higher education at the University of California, San Diego. Hannah and I discuss her journey as a student activist, how being a Trans Racial Adoptee has shaped her life and research as a PhD Student. We also discuss our histories as student activists, how you heal and grieve and offer a critique of the academy.
