Aerin Lee, University of Chicago

Aerin is a rising fourth year at the University of Chicago. She is majoring in East Asian Languages and Civilizations with a focus in Korea and Japan, and she is minoring in English and Creative Writing with a focus in fiction writing. She is particularly interested in thinking critically about history, as she believes that learning about other nations’ histories from varying perspectives, not just the United States’, will inform our knowledge of not only the past, but also of the present and the future in foreign policy. In her free time, Aerin enjoys reading, singing, and listening to music.
