Based in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, I’m pursuing a joint PhD in Anthropology and Sociology at The New School for Social Research (NSSR) and RWTH Aachen University. My research focuses on cross-cultural comparisons of psychedelic-assisted therapies in the US, Germany, and Taiwan. I’m currently working on several projects including the Taiwanese underground psychedelic culture and the start-up networks in the US, related to the postcolonial aspects of mental health discourses.
