COMM Researchers [Ep. #3]: Ching Ching Tan

On this week’s COMM Scholars Podcast, we sat down with Professor Ching Ching Tan. As a U.S. immigrant, scholar, and life long writer–Professor Tan uses her experiences from both China and America to bring forward marginalized voices, all while inspiring others in similar situations. As well as, developing a more empathetic approach to teaching students from diverse backgrounds. In this episode, Professor Tan shares how her persistence and keenness for learning has impacted her life. From moving to a new country, taking ESL classes at her local community college, and receiving a MA in Communication Studies-Ching Ching Tan has been able to create a life for herself in what she references in her Huffington Post article as the “mainstream.” Listen to the full podcast to dive deeper into the conversation that took place.
