Teaching interests: Modern Korean history and cultural studies; the Korean and Vietnam Wars; Cold War culture; migration and borders; gender and family history; the history of violence; crime and punishment; history, fiction, and narrative.

At Korea University I teach the undergraduate courses “Introduction to Korean and East Asian History” (HOKA 004, offered in the fall) and “Topics in Korean History: The Korean War” (HOKA 002, offered in the spring). From next year I will offer undergraduate lectures in cultural history and conceptual history. I also teach the graduate seminars “Korean Historiography" (HTS 645, fall) and “Advanced Topics in Korean History” (HTS 753, spring), which I organize around specific interpretive problems in Korean Studies, including militarism, the transpacific Cold War, and the U.S. Empire in Korea.

At the University of Michigan, I taught “From Truman to Trump: Introduction to U.S.-Korea Relations” (2023), “Undergraduate Fellows Research Seminar in Korean Studies” (2023-4), and “Bodies and Borders in Postcolonial Korea” (2024).
