Ph.D Candidate researching cultural resistance + liberation communication at the University of Washington. Creating for community.

Julie Feng Shared in 2024 Student - Ph.D. Communication, UW Seattle M.A. Cultural Studies, UW Bothell, 2021 B.A. English: Creative Writing, UW Seattle, 2013 What does it mean to you to be a current first-generation student? Being the first person in my family to go to college means that I enter every space as an excavator, a fugitive, a conspirator, a fighter, a bridge builder, a fire starter, and an advocate for myself and for my communities. What brought you to the University of Washington? I'm a triple Husky - I got my B.A. in English/Creative Writing, my M.A. in Cultural Studies, and now working on my Ph.D. in Communication at the UW. It's important to be rooted in a local community. Although I've lived in other places in the world and I will again, I find meaning in having a home here. Where do you see yourself after graduation? Whatever pathway I take after graduation, it'll always include research, art, pedagogy, and cultural work towards collective liberation. I hope to be a scholar of stories who makes a change in the world! What insights would you share with current and future first-gen students? You're not just on the right path, you are paving the path. You're not lucky to be here, here is lucky to have you.

Revolutionary Dreams i used to dream militant dreams of taking over america to show these white folks how it should be done i used to dream radical dreams of blowing everyone away with my perceptive powers of correct analysis i even used to think i'd be the one to stop the riot and negotiate the peace then i awoke and dug that if i dreamed natural dreams of being a natural woman doing what a woman does when she's natural i would have a revolution
