    Hi! My name is Keigan, and I'm a senior majoring in Social Science with concentrations in Environmental Studies and minoring in Chinese Language and History. My current research interests include the challenges of "post-coal" Appalachia in the United States. Outside of my major, learning Chinese has truly been a highlight of my time at NYU Shanghai.
