How did you become
interested in the IIC program? While I was in the Peace Corps, I found the IIC program
because of the fellowship they provide to RPCVs. It seemed as if half the volunteers in my batch were
considering applying to this program.
Name some specific
areas within IIC you’re interested in: I seem to be fairly obsessed with media representations in
the entertainment and sports industries.
Favorite place you’ve
traveled to so far: This is tough because I’m afraid Melbourne or Hoi An is
going feel slighted, but I’m going to go with Langkawi, Malaysia. I tend to think about the place I’ve
visited by how I remember the food, and the food in Malaysia was pretty
incredible. After the Malay
population, the two largest ethnic groups in Malaysia are Indian and Chinese,
so there’s a pretty phenomenal mix of those three cuisines.
Dream job: I would really like to be Wes Anderson, though that seems to
be increasingly unlikely.
