What I Wish I Knew When I Sat in the IOP Living Room: My Journey from Physics Major from China to Award-winning Writer and Public Intellectual

Tuesday, November 4th, 12:30PM - 1:45 PM

IOP Living Room

Join us for a conversation over lunch with Dr. Yangyang Cheng, IOP Pritzker Fellow, to discuss her career path from being a Ph.D student in physics at UChicago to becoming a Research Scholar and Fellow at Yale Law School's Paul Tsai China Center. Dr. Cheng's essays have appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Nation, MIT Technology Review, and WIRED, and she has received numerous awards from organizations including the Society of Publishers in Asia, the Asian American Journalists Association, and more. As an interdisciplinary scholar and public intellectual, she is also a co-host, writer, and producer of the award-winning narrative podcast "Dissident at the Doorstep" (Crooked Media, 2024) -- and is excited to share her unconventional career trajectory with students.
