Bio Sketch:

I’m a historian of twentieth-century Korean culture and society with a specialization in South Korea after 1945. My research and teaching interests include nationalist discourse, collective memory, popular culture, and social relations. I'm currently at work on a study that examines the cultural origins of South Korea’s April Revolution (1960).
