Research interests

Elections, public opinion and parties Governance & Democracy Nationalism and political action Politics and political violence

I am interested in the Sociology of protest movements, particularly in the context of South Korea and other recent democracies. My research focuses on the contemporary political left in South Korea and its intersection with emergent progressive movements, changing institutions, and mass protest cycles.
