Outside Academia

Outside of research and teaching, here is a little about what I enjoy and the communities I am part of.

Forthcoming Fellowship

Korean Sociologist Prayers in America · Every other week · Online

Forthcoming Fellowship

Forthcoming is a fellowship group for Korean sociology students and scholars in the United States. I am one of the initial members. We meet online every other week for reading, prayer, and Scripture sharing. We reflect on our scholarship as a calling, pray for our society, and support one another.

We are currently reading Timothy Keller’s Every Good Endeavor.

If you are a Korean sociology student or scholar in the United States and would like to join, please contact me.

Meet Danbi

Danbi, a gray curly-haired dog in a light-blue harness, sitting in a cafe

Danbi (단비) means “welcome rain” in Korean, and that is exactly what Danbi is to our home: a small, sweet joy that brightens ordinary days. With soft gray curls, a light-blue harness, and a very proper sitting pose for every photo, Danbi is simply adorable. Danbi is also my favorite reminder to step away from the screen, take a walk, and enjoy the little things.
