Hi, everyone!
This is Dan starting a blog about digital sociology. I will try to contribute to this site regularly and mindfully although this is one of the assessments of my programme.
Let me talk about myself. I am currently studying MSc Digital Sociology in University of Edinburgh (2021 fall). Honestly, this will be my second Master.
I acquired my BA in Engilsh from China, where I was born and bred. And then I furthered the studies in University of Leeds for MA in International Journalism and graduated in 2016.
After the 2 degrees, I thought I might start working perhaps because being acadeic just meant endless reading lists at that time for me. And I returned to China.
During the following years, I was a frequent job-hopper though, I once worked as a news analyst, English teacher and even a part-time subtitle translator with changing accommodations at the same time, including Beijing, Inner Mongolia and Guangzhou.
I am grateful that I have met many kind and generous poeple through all the way. However, several shifts between campus and workplace have made me realise that academic environment may be more suitable, along with the familarity to the UK. That is why I am here again.
Insterstingly, 2 of my previous students also attended Edinburgh as undergraduates. They used to be my students but are my Uni mates!
