Associate Professor, Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information

I am an Associate Professor at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
My research explores issues of “difference" in discursive communication environments that have implications for policy. I am interested in how difference is perceived and functions in the political realm, how people come to understand and demarcate difference, the effects of communication across lines of difference, and in ways to overcome and coexist as a society beyond differences. I’ve studied various contexts in which people of differing, often antagonistic, backgrounds communicate with one another on various platforms.
My work has appeared in top-tiered journals in communication such as Journal of Communication, Communication Research and New Media and Society. I was the recipient of the Young Scholar Award from the Korean Society for Journalism and Communication Studies for my research on minorities in deliberation. I am also the winner of the the Nanyang Education Award (School).
Before joining NTU, I studied at Stanford University (Ph.D., Department of Communication), University of Wisconsin—Madison (M.A., Department of Communication Arts), and Yonsei University (B.A., Department of Communication).
