Visitor's Voice is a series of interviews to showcase our fellows while they stay with us at CSEAS. The interview highlights their research activities while also introducing the people and episodes behind the work, must-haves for field research and writing, book recommendations, future ambitions, etc., in a question-and-answer format. Each interview is packed with unique and useful information and tips not only for fellow researchers, but also for future researchers and the general audience.
