"Adjusting expectations is also self-care. It’s okay to do something not as perfect as you thought it would be or should be because the set of conditions that you’re working with are much different from the ones you thought you were working with when you started.”
This episode of Strength in the Midst of Change features Ruby MacDougall, a 2021 CEW+ Mary Malcomson Raphael Scholar and PhD candidate in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus on dance studies. Ruby shares her insights about the relationship between “modern” and “ethnic” dance forms in Chinese dance history, as well as being a graduate student parent during the pandemic.
