In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sandy Oh, to discuss transferable skills for social science majors. Dr. Sandy Oh has a PhD in cultural anthropology and has taught writing at UC Irvine while leading UX research for a LA-based civic tech organization. As an award-winning qualitative researcher and DEI advocate, she’s contributed to projects like "Godfather of Harlem" Season 2, nominated for NAACP Image Awards.
Her global career includes launching an online learning platform in South Korea and collaborating on educational innovations, all while leveraging her diverse background in anthropology and writing to inform and inspire.
On the show, she shares her background in cultural anthropology, outlines the essential skills she developed during her studies, and explains how these apply to various careers including user experience (UX) and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
We explore her career journey, highlighting the importance of creativity, adaptability, and seeking out opportunities within and beyond academia and she provides listeners with valuable practical advice on leveraging your social science skills to navigate and succeed in various professional fields.
