On this week's episode, Francine sits down with MK Long, a graduate student in the Department of Asian Studies at Cornell University, to unpack her research analyzing the (auto)biographies of Burmese Buddhist nuns. These texts come from a 1982 volume of (auto)biographies of the founder and three generations of successors of a Buddhist nunnery established in central Burma in 1905. Stay tuned for a discussion on the importance of interpersonal relationships between nuns, kinship, language learning, graduate school, and more!

The music on the podcast is from "Me and Some Friends", a musical project by a group of friends at Cornell, to experiment with how the beautiful timbres of Gamelan music can meld with hypnotic guitar parts to create a contemplative and unique experience. Check them out here.
