About
Marie is pursuing a JD and MIRS-Chinese Studies MA dual degree program. She graduated from the College of Wooster in 2017, majoring in Political Science and Chinese Studies, and completed an undergraduate thesis that analyzed and compared disaster discourse in Chinese media after the industrial explosion in Tianjin and after the Sichaun earthquake in 2008. While in college, she also spent the summer of 2016 completing a research project at the Harbin Institute of Technology on the economic development of the northeast region of China, as well as studying in a Mandarin language immersion program. She hopes to deepen her understanding of governance and law in the People’s Republic of China while completing her master’s.
