Navigating between longing and loss as a transracial adoptee: Anna Lam Sasson in conversation with Ying Wang
In this podcast Ying Wang speaks with Anna Lam Sasson about her article ‘Cultural longing and loss: An arts-based inquiry into the experience of cultural identity for adult transracial adoptees (TRAs)’. The article is focused on cultural-identity experiences of TRA participants from a co-autoethnographic arts-based research (ABR) project in which Anna was a TRA co-researcher and participant. This research was completed as part of her coursework for the Master of Creative Arts Therapies program at Murdoch University in Western Australia.
