EASC wants to highlight Jaden Stovall, a graduating Master’s student in Literary Editing and Publishing in Dornsife and a long-time student staff member for EASC! Since joining EASC in Spring 2021, Jaden has contributed so much to our community — from event support to building connections across campus. Academically, Jaden double majored in English and Narrative Studies and is now completing his master’s in Literary Editing and Publishing through USC’s Progressive Degree Program. His scholarship explores Black American history, cross-cultural exchange among communities of color, and representations of race and gender in fantasy and science fiction media. Beyond the classroom, Jaden served as a graduate fellow with the USC Prison Education Project and recently earned the prestigious JIMMY Award from the English Department for outstanding achievement. Reflecting on his time at EASC, Jaden shared that the importance of a supportive workplace culture will stay with him long after graduation. As he moves into the publishing world, he’s excited to keep working with stories and amplifying diverse voices across media. We are so proud of all you have accomplished, Jaden, and we can’t wait to see the stories you bring to life!

Congratulations Jaden and thank you for everything you've done for the EASC community! šŸŽ‰

EASC wants to highlight Maple Yang, a graduating Master’s student in East Asian Area Studies in Dornsife! EASC had the opportunity to ask Maple about his experience with the program. Maple’s research focuses on comparative studies of English and Chinese translations of Japanese literature during its vernacular movement. Maple’s advice to incoming students is to build a relationship with mentors and look to them for insight and inspiration. After graduation, Maple will be pursuing a PhD in Comparative Literature at UC Davis.

Congratulations Maple! šŸŽ‰

EASC wants to highlight Zerui Pan, a graduating Master’s student in East Asian Area Studies in Dornsife and a Summer 2024 EASC Graduate Fellowship recipient! EASC had the opportunity to ask Zerui about his experience with the program and as an awardee. Zerui’s research focuses on digital nationalism in China through the exploration of Chinese travel vlogs to overseas destinations. With the fellowship, Zerui was able to attend the Hokkaido International Foundation (HIF) Summer Program which allowed him to engage in intensive language study. Zerui also had the opportunity to present at the 2024 Harvard East Asia Society Graduate Student Conference where he presented his senior thesis written at UCSD titled ā€œThe Body and the Song: East Asian Women Writers Experimenting with a Feminine Mode of Science Fiction Writing.ā€ He noted that the conference gave him the opportunity to revise his work and present it to a greater audience. Zerui’s advice to incoming students is to find value in the experiences of your path rather than the achievements you accomplish. After graduation, Zerui plans to spend some time with his family before moving to Japan to seek work.

Congratulations Zerui! šŸŽ‰
