This episode features our conversation with Abdul Ghaffar Memon, a PhD graduate from Pakistan, whose extensive involvement in campus life at Tsinghua has focused on developing cross-cultural communication within the student body. He discusses how, despite some challenges, it is easier than expected to communicate with people all over the world, and how these experiences impact on one’s behaviour at home. Ghaffar also discusses his experiences as a student in the School of Environment in the country he has come to call his “second home”.
