In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I sit down with Dra. Aurora Chang to discuss her journey from being an undocumented immigrant to becoming hyper-documentated. We delve into her experiences in academia, the concept of hyper-documentation, and how she now supports marginalized scholars in their writing. Dra. Aurora shares insights into the emotional and psychological costs of over-documentation, her personal battles and triumphs, and the evolution of her mission to help others find their authentic writing voice. We also explore the importance of vulnerability, the impact of cultural relevance in writing support, and how to lean into tensions to achieve alignment in life and work.
