Pursuing a doctor of philosophy degree

Research Area: Development geography, political economy, East Asian urban studies

Supervisor: Jim Glassman

Degrees: 
2010-2015 M.A. Geography, Seoul National University, South Korea
2006-2010 B.A. Geography, Seoul National University, South Korea

Research Statement: 
I examine what brought the recent booms and downturns of cities in the context of (post-) developmental states since the 1990s when the state experienced substantial decentralizing and neoliberalizing processes. I focus on the historical positioning of the ensemble of corporate networks, state structures, and local articulations through tracing the nexus of the state, corporation, and labor in South Korean industrial-urban areas where two global conglomerates–Hyundai and Samsung—retain their world biggest car plants, shipyards, and semiconductor lines.
