Junghyun Nam, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, has been selected to participate in the Michigan Korean Studies Summer Institute, hosted by the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. This competitive one-week residential program will provide Junghyun with an invaluable opportunity to engage in collaborative learning and interdisciplinary agenda-setting focused on Korean democracy through the lens of gender. As a participant, Junghyun will attend a series of interdisciplinary seminars exploring the history of democratization, representational politics, the current status of Korean democracy, and the complex relationship between gender and class in Korean society. This experience will significantly contribute to Junghyun's ongoing research and academic growth.
Junghyun has also been awarded a Summer Doctoral Fellowship from the Center for Humanities Research. As a recipient of this fellowship, Junghyun will have the opportunity to present her research on the nexus of repression and collective action during the fall semester of 2024.
