Episode 87: MK Long, Department of Asian Studies, Cornell University
On this week's episode, Francine sits down with MK Long, a graduate student in the Department of Asian Studies at Cornell University, to unpack her research analyzing the (auto)biographies of Burmese Buddhist nuns. These texts come from a 1982 volume of (auto)biographies of the founder and three generations of successors of a Buddhist nunnery established in central Burma in 1905. Stay tuned for a discussion on the importance of interpersonal relationships between nuns, kinship, language learning, graduate school, and more!
