Service to the anglophone community
Service to academic philosophy societies
Together with Chrisy Xiyu Du, I created and continue to maintain fediphilosophy.org, a Mastodon instance for researchers and teachers whose work engages with philosophy.
In 2022, I was elected as the junior co-chair for the PSA DEI Caucus. The position lasts for 4 years (2 terms).
Service to students
I co-founded Wonder Philosophy, a workshop and resource pool for students wanting to know more about philosophy graduate school. Read an interview with the APA blog here.
Note: I won’t be directly involved in organizing in the near future, but I’m happy to provide organizational support for people who’d like to start their own workshop. I also own the website and so can provide advertisement space.
Podcast about Humanities scholars in alt ac careers
I host a podcast, Off Campus, that interviews people with postgraduate training in the Humanities who works in alternative-to-academia careers. If you are/know someone who fits this description and would like to share your/their journey as a Humanities scholar in the alt ac world, please let me know!
Service to the Chinese community
Articles about academic life
I’ve written a number of articles about my journey through academic philosophy, including information about how to apply to grad school, tips and pitfalls in writing research papers, what the job market is like, etc. They are archived on my WeChat official account, @Scatteredplot. You can also find me on the sinophone philosophy forum Aspasia, created by Ding.
我以“青行灯不会做饭”的笔名在豆瓣上发表过一系列【学术圈指南】文章,分享我在北美学术哲学圈内的种种体会与心得。我将豆瓣账户注销后,这些文章皆保存在了微信公众号【青行灯不会做饭】上,新的文章也会继续发在那里。你还可以在Ding创建的中文学术哲学论坛Aspasia上面找到我。
Panel series on demystifying academia, at Women Overseas
Together with Chrisy Xiyu Du, we hosted a number of panel shows where Chinese women academics share experiences and advice about various aspects of their academic lives. The panel series is part of the sinophone women community, Women Overseas (YouTube, podcast).
我和Chrisy一起在海外华人女性社区,Women Overseas她乡,上面组织过一系列【她说x学术圈】活动,邀请学术界的姐妹来分享她们的生活经历与感悟。和其它的【她说】活动一样,我们的活动以网络圆桌讨论会的模式进行,事后会于她乡微信公众号【WomenOverseas她乡】上发布文字稿,以及她乡播客(Spotify,小宇宙,YouTube)上发布音频。目前已有以下这些:
