I am an anthropologist from Seoul. I received my Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Chicago in August 2025, where I currently work as a teaching fellow.
My research takes contemporary Türkiye/Turkey as a site to examine how women draw on conservative religious traditions to navigate an increasingly fragmented world. I work across sociocultural and linguistic anthropology, religious studies, and critical feminist theory.
In my free time, I knit, journal, and paint. I rediscovered the joy of painting during my fieldwork in Ankara at an atelier for Ottoman miniature painting. All the images used on this website are my paintings.
