Hi! I am an assistant professor of political science at the City University of Hong Kong. I have written about social and transnational movements, norms and norm evasion, stigma, status and and status hierarchies, and Korean and Japanese politics. I received my PhD in political science from Boston University, and before joining CityUHK, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, Program on U.S.-Japan Relations. My work has appeared or is forthcoming in various academic journals, including International Organization, International Studies Quarterly, and European Journal of International Relations. My book, titled Base Towns: Local Contestation of the U.S. Military in Korea and Japan (Oxford University Press), is available here and here. I am currently working on my second book project on victimhood and status in international politics. Please find my CV here.
