Tianrui – Master's student in Gender Studies

Meet Tianrui Pan, a current Master's degree student at the University of Turku and an UTUambassador 2021-2022!

"Hi! This is Tianrui from China.

I just started my gender studies master program this year in 2021. For me, gender studies master program in Turku University provided a unique interdisciplinary atmosphere for not setting specific applying background standard for prospective students. Since I studied here, I gained previous experience of listening to others from different cultures, identifications and disciplines, and felt being listened to as well.

Living in Turku is quite a relaxing time for me. During my free time, I would always love to walk around the city carrying my phone or camera. I am doing some little paintings too. The nature of Turku is my favorite part, and I could always get inspiration from it. On the weekends, my friends and I would explore the woods or islands around us together, then sit for a coffee – which quite depends on the weather. If you have any good ideas about bad weather activities, please tell me!"
