Welcome to the very first episode of Catching Up with CJ! Our first guest is Xudong Yu, a PhD Candidate in Political Communication. We discuss his journey into how he got into studying the field starting from his experience as a journalist. We also reflect on the realities of graduate school. While we’ve had incredibly positive experiences overall, there are times that generally can be difficult, especially as an international student. Lastly, we discuss Xudong’s own research and studies that focus on polarization and selective exposure.
