Description
My husband Adam and I (Shuang) are two international scholars originally from the U.S. and China, and currently teaching in Danish universities. After earning PhDs in social anthropology and history at Harvard University, we moved to Denmark to start a different rural life. We have a 2 year old son and 6 chickens. We do research on democratic sustainability in collaboration of Samsø energy academy, formulating a vision that integrates environmental, social, and cultural sustainability. We have lived in Boston, L.A, Shanghai, NYC, Budapest, etc. We enjoy connecting with people from different cultural backgrounds through food and conversations.
