It takes more than a village to bring Harry here. Growing up in Pingtung, Taiwan, Harry has navigated between places—Kaohsiung, Taipei, Berkeley, and Penghu. Currently a master’s student in foreign languages and literatures, he earned his bachelor’s in the same field from NTU. Beyond geographic movement, Harry traverses academic disciplines, drawing from history, sociology, geography, anthropology, and Taiwan literature. With interests in ecocriticism, postcolonialism, feminism, and indigenous studies, Harry is participating in a collaborative UC Berkeley interview project on intersectionality of art and environmental activism, to be published in a forthcoming issue of Art Journal.
Harry strives to create a supportive and engaging environment where students feel comfortable exploring new language skills and expressing authentic opinions. His teaching approach emphasizes practical communication and cultural translation. Students are also welcome to practice English through conversations about everyday life, literature, films, anime, Moomins, or Fujii Kaze.
