Research

My research is concerned with the ways that experiences of family life connect to broader sensory and affective shifts in South Korean society. My current book project examines motherhood ideology and practice through these sensory and affective dimensions, using media as a lens.

Most recently I have begun a project comparing the global language promotion efforts of South Korea and Taiwan, situating these official language and culture initiatives in the framework of soft power. Outside of ethnographic projects, I publish on television, film, and digital media.
