Minh-E Lau is a fourth-year Global Studies major with a minor in International Migration Studies. Her experiences as a third culture individual have led to her being deeply interested in multiculturalism, entrepreneurship, and human rights (specifically, making education accessible for refugees). Her research explores Chinese immigrant entrepreneurship as a method of cultural preservation in Los Angeles and Singapore, with a planned emphasis on food entrepreneurship. She hopes to unveil the universal aspects of cultural preservation across borders; in other words, examining how immigrant entrepreneurship is used to preserve migrant identities throughout various generations. Additionally, she hopes to establish the ways in which labor is used as a protective factor against societal ostracization; as migrants engage in food entrepreneurship, can they reconcile their cultural identities as migrants with being perceived as productive members of the new society? Post-graduation, Minh-E plans to work at the intersection of business and social impact. She eventually wants to attend law school and pursue international human rights work.
