• Lecturer, School of Media, Creative Arts and Social Inquiry, Curtin University

I am a Lecturer at School of Media, Creative Arts and Social Inquiry, teaching across sociology, anthropology, and Korean studies. I obtained my PhD in sociolinguistics from Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul, South Korea, as a Global Korea Scholar (GKS), where I also took on the role of research lead as part of the government funded 'Brain Korea 21' (BK21) project. My research explores the links between semiotic practices and personal identities, particularly within the dialectic of nationalism and globalization. I have published in a number of prominent international journals in the fields of language and media, including Discourse, Context and Media, Language and Communication, and Applied Linguistics. My most recent edited volume 'Becoming a Linguist' (BAL), published with Routledge, aims to introduce general audiences and aspiring linguists to the field. The broader BAL project, which includes prominent public intellectuals such as Noam Chomsky, aims to bridge the gap in field mentorship, allowing students from the Global South in particular, to receive guidance from leading scholars across language studies. In addition to GKS, I am also the 2023 Korea Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow for Research in Australia and New Zealand, and a Fulbright Visiting Scholar.
