| Author(s): | Conner, Jenessa; Lee, Sungmin; Nava, Maria; Sohn, Agnes |
| Subject(s): | podcast
life history Korean international students racism UIUC |
| Abstract: | Our podcast was developed from a life history interview we conducted with a Korean international student at the U of I. In our podcast, we focused on the parts of the interview where our interviewee talked about her experiences of racism or isolation from domestic students, and her struggles to make American friends. We contrasted her experience with her brother's, which was much more positive. |
