Research Assistant
Dawoon was a graduate student at John Jay studying Forensic Psychology. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and Forensic Psychology in 2020. She is interested in bilingualism because language reflects how people think, how they present themselves, and how they treat others due to a language’s rules. She would like to learn that the act of switching languages in a situation could influence the level of consideration, attitude toward others, and cognitive development. By studying bilingualism, she would like to understand the different behaviors and diverse cultures, which may be influenced by how they process and speak native and learned languages.

Joie is a sophomore in the Macaulay Honors College as a prospective candidate for a CUNY BA degree in Migration Studies and East-West Relations. Joie is also a Jeannette K. Watson Fellow, where she was able to intern for the NYC Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice and provided informal interpretative services at city-sponsored events. This experience, combined with her personal interest in foreign languages, has moved Joie to better understand not only her Chinese culture and language but also bilingualism as a whole. Joie is interested in bilingualism as a means to communicate with more people, so she hopes to better understand bilingualism and its relevance to culture, identity, and overarching societal acceptance in order to better help people of color, with a particular focus on refugees and immigrants.
