Yuna Dai is a first-year PhD student from China. She recently graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education with a master’s degree in Higher Education Administration and earned her bachelor’s degree in art history from Trinity College in Connecticut. Having studied in the U.S. for over six years, Yuna draws on her international experience to explore how global learning environments shape international student identities. Her interests also include global citizenship education and community-based learning in higher education, where she hopes to promote more inclusive and cross-cultural engagement. As a new member of the Quantitative Ethnography (QE) community, Yuna is excited to learn innovative ways to analyze data and apply them in her research. She’s especially curious about how large language models can support qualitative data coding and open new possibilities for educational research
