WELCOME I am the Kim Koo Chair in Korean Studies & Assistant Professor of Political Science at The Fletcher School, Tufts University. I am a scholar of nationalism and democracy in East Asia. My first book, Narratives of Civic Duty: How National Stories Shape Democracy in Asia, is winner of the 2023 Robert A. Dahl Award for "scholarship of the highest quality on the subject of democracy" from the American Political Science Association. My research appears in leading disciplinary journals including the British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, and Journal of East Asian Studies. I frequently serve as an expert panelist on Korea & democracy issues and contribute evidence-based commentary to current affairs, including in Foreign Policy and the Washington Post. I hold a Ph.D. in Politics from Princeton University, M.P.P. from the Harvard Kennedy School, and B.A. with honors from Stanford University. |
