Research Projects

Currently I am working on the following research projects. For the record of my past research, please see Publications below:

Childcare Co-ops and Participatory Community Planning in South Korea: This project interrogates the transformative possibility of childcare co-op projects that some progressive faction in South Korea have developed as part of their community based activism. I examine how issues of social reproduction and gender division of labor are contested and reconciled in these projects.
