Aerlynn Lingyu Ding
Class of 2025
"My name is Aerlynn, and I hold a B.A. in International Relations and Anthropology from the University of Southern California. With a strong academic foundation in these disciplines, I am passionate about exploring the complexities of narratives in international affairs. I am deeply fascinated by the intricate interplay of state narratives, public opinions, and diplomacy, as I find it intriguing how the same concept can be artfully phrased to convey distinct meanings to diverse audiences, ultimately shaping perceptions and influencing international relations. At Georgetown University, I would like to continue cultivating my interests in narratives and public opinions and broaden my understanding of foreign policy in East Asia and beyond."
