Hi there!

My name is 侯揚洵 (Hou, Yang-Hsun) / Hâu, Lông-Sûn, and I use they/them/他 pronouns.

I am a 河洛 (Hohlo/Hokkien) Han scholar from Taiwan, and I grew up on the south side of the main island. I am also a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Washington, College of Education. I am a Learning Scientist, and I am curious about how people learn, particularly in social movement, community organizing, and protests, and how these political participations are emotional and embodied. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means for non-Indigenous people to move ethically, and build good relations with Indigenous sovereignties, lands, waters, and more-than-humans.

These days, if I’m not reading and writing with my orange tabby in my lap, you can find me hanging out at local aquariums or wandering around the city learning how to forage in urban spaces.

I hope we can connect soon!

take care,

揚洵
