Currently, Joyce is a Ph.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research interests include cross-cultural student activism on college campuses as well as the career trajectories of first-generation, low-income college students. Before starting her doctoral program, Joyce spent seven years working in education across various global contexts. With the support of a Fulbright fellowship, Joyce researched North Korean refugee youth\u2019s civic participation in South Korea. She has also worked as a researcher at Harvard Business School, where she examined higher education innovations to solve pressing societal problems like endemic structural racism and climate change.<\/p>\n
