My research focuses on cultural interactions between Japanese and Koreans in the process of decolonization across a wide range of media, including literature, theater, and performance, with a particular interest in the history of Zainichi Koreans—Koreans who migrated to Japan under Japanese colonial rule and their descendants who remain in Japan.

My first book project examines transnational theatrical performances co-produced by Japanese and Zainichi Koreans after the end of Japanese colonial rule (1910-1945). My analysis of this transnational cultural exchange especially considers the ways in which an intersubjective understanding of decolonization is negotiated in the production process.

I received my Ph.D. in East Asian Languages and Literatures at the University of California, Irvine (2019). Before joining Grinnell College, I taught at Williams College (2019-2023).
