Not many people get to follow in their parent’s footsteps in the very specific way that Professor Margaret Rung did. Decades after she traveled to Taiwan for her father’s Fulbright, Margaret returned for her own.

As a Fulbright scholar in Taiwan, she explored the shifting boundaries between the public and private spheres in America, with an emphasis on how diverse Americans negotiated a social contract in a nation devoted to capitalism and democracy.  

On this episode, guest host Prof. Andy Trees talks to Prof. Rung about her experiences overseas.
