Meet the Student: Cora Eaton

Cora Eaton is a Political Science major with minors in the Hesburgh Program of Public Service and Chinese. She is also a fellow in the Notre Dame International Security Certificate Program. She is from Falls Church, Virginia, and will be graduating in 2024. She took Approaching Asia because she has always been interested in Asian culture and the continent’s relationship with the US and other continents. She was originally mostly interested in China, but wanted to learn more about wider Asia and Dr. J’s class seemed to be the perfect way to do that. She chose the topic of China and Taiwan for her paper because she has been to both countries, and was always intrigued by their relationship. The situation has extensive implications for the rest of the world, and becomes more salient every day as both China and Taiwan grow in international prominence.
