- Korean literature

- environmental history

My research examines the insights that Korean literature brings to our past and current moments of ecological and economic crises. With a critical focus on the everyday experience of laboring with the land, I am interested in how working bodies, ores, soils, and technologies collectively remake local environments and redefine gendered divisions of labor.
