Okay, let's try this again: Justin Chen Who Am I? The Forging of Identity and Selfhood in Post-Colonial Asian America Hi; my name is Justin Chen, and I was born in Washington, D.C. to proud parents Wen and Grace Chen. I sometimes live with them in McLean, VA, but I spend most of the year in New Haven, CT. Here are my Asian qualities:
Here are my not-so-Asian qualities:
But I digress... I recently graduated from Yale, where I was for some reason editor-in-chief of The Yale Herald, Yale's undergraduate weekly newspaper. Also, I was a coordinator of The Musical Cure, a volunteer outreach program that brings music to New Haven soup kitchens, nursing homes, and hospitals, and I volunteerd in the Geriatrics Department at the Yale/New Haven Hospital, where I was occasionally mistaken for a Hispanic. While all of those things have kept me pretty busy over the past four years, it is now time to move on and never think of them again. What does my future hold? The Yale School of Medicine, where all the classes are Pass/Fail and tests are taken on the Internet, at one's leisure. This summer, I have done nothing but be extraordinarily lazy, in preparation for working in beautiful Erlangen, Germany next year. I'll be doing clinical research on lupus and atherosclerosis with Dr. Christian Antoni and Drs. Bernhard and Karin Manger. I'll also hopefully be traveling all around Europe and eating lots of chocolate! Other things that you should know about me are that I like to drink but haven't really figured out how to stop once I get started, and I love small fat animals, including babies. I enjoy the poetry of Milton, Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. Additionally, I am a huge nerd. That's really all I have to share for now, I'm afraid. If you'd like to find out more, send me an email containing a nude photo!
