Adam, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I’m so glad you found a wonderful place that allowed you to find a convergence of your academic and professional interests.
Hi Adam,
This internship sounds like an amazing opportunity. Moving forward, do you have specific indigenous populations you’re interested in working in?
What a great experience Adam! Thank you for sharing. Great tips for approaching internships and learning more about the host organizations. How did this experience shape your long-term professional goals beyond IS and ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú?
Thanks so much for your comment! In the future, I would like to continue working with indigenous populations in China and Taiwan, as they are often overlooked by Western discourses of indigeneity. More specifically, I™d love to delve deeper into the Tao tribe of Taiwan™s Orchid Island, as they hold a very unique and contentious relationship with the government.
Your experience certainly shows how cool it is to combine areas of interest. Nice job – and we appreciate you using your knowledge to help other students find good opportunities.
@Dr. Sobeck: thank you very much for the feedback. This experience solidified my interest in indigenous studies and will undoubtedly inform future research topics for higher education in Anthropology.
